چکیده
A band is the intersection of the surface of a convex polyhedron with the space between two parallel planes, as long as this space does not contain any vertices of the polyhedron. The intersection of the planes and the polyhedron produces two convex polygons. If one of these polygons contains the other in the projection orthogonal to the parallel planes, then the band is nested. We prove that all nested bands can be unfolded, by cutting along exactly one edge and folding continuously to place all faces of the band into a plane, without intersection. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملBand Unfoldings and Prismatoids: A Counterexample
This note shows that the hope expressed in [ADL07]—that the new algorithm for edge-unfolding any polyhedral band without overlap might lead to an algorithm for unfolding any prismatoid without overlap—cannot be realized. A prismatoid is constructed whose sides constitute a nested polyhedral band, with the property that every placement of the prismatoid top face overlaps with the band unfolding.
متن کاملUnfolding polyhedral bands
A band is defined as the intersection of the surface of a convex polyhedron with the space between two parallel planes, as long as this space does not contain any vertices of the polyhedron. An unfolding of a given band is obtained by cutting along exactly one edge and placing all faces of the band into the plane, without causing intersections. We prove that for a specific type of band there ex...

متن کاملZipper unfoldings of polyhedral complexes
We explore which polyhedra and polyhedral complexes can be formed by folding up a planar polygonal region and fastening it with one zipper. We call the reverse process a zipper unfolding. A zipper unfolding of a polyhedron is a path cut that unfolds the polyhedron to a planar polygon; in the case of edge cuts, these are Hamiltonian unfoldings as introduced by Shephard in 1975. We show that all ...
