چکیده
We prove that any polyhedron of genus zero or genus one built out of rectangular faces must be an orthogonal polyhedron, but that there are nonorthogonal polyhedra of genus seven all of whose faces are rectangles. This leads to a resolution of a question posed by Biedl, Lubiw, and Sun [BLS99].

Tighter bounds on the genus of nonorthogonal polyhedra built from rectangles
We prove that there is a polyhedron with genus 6 whose faces are orthogonal polygons (equivalently, rectangles) and yet the angles between some faces are not multiples of 90, so the polyhedron itself is not orthogonal. On the other hand, we prove that any such polyhedron must have genus at least 3. These results improve the bounds of Donoso and O’Rourke [4] that there are nonorthogonal polyhedr...
متن کاملLearning from Polyhedral Sets
Parameterized linear systems allow for modelling and reasoning over classes of polyhedra. Collections of squares, rectangles, polytopes, and so on, can readily be defined by means of linear systems with parameters. In this paper, we investigate the problem of learning a parameterized linear system whose class of polyhedra includes a given set of example polyhedral sets and it is minimal.
متن کاملFace-Transitive Polyhedra with Rectangular Faces and Icosahedral Symmetry
We describe three hexacontahedra in which the faces are rectangles, all equivalent under symmetries of the icosahedral group and having all edges in the mirror planes of the symmetry group. Under the restriction that adjacent faces are not coplanar, these are the only possible polyhedra of this kind.
متن کاملSymmetry-breaking constraints for packing identical rectangles within polyhedra
Two problems related to packing identical rectangles within a polyhedron are tackled in the present work. Rectangles are allowed to differ only by horizontal or vertical translations and possibly ninety-degree rotations. The first considered problem consists in packing as many identical rectangles as possible within a given polyhedron, while the second problem consists in finding the smallest p...
متن کاملUnfolding and Reconstructing Polyhedra
This thesis covers work on two topics: unfolding polyhedra into the plane and reconstructing polyhedra from partial information. For each topic, we describe previous work in the area and present an array of new research and results. Our work on unfolding is motivated by the problem of characterizing precisely when overlaps will occur when a polyhedron is cut along edges and unfolded. By contras...
