Abstract:
Folding and unfolding problems have been implicit since Albrecht Dürer in the early 1500's [Dü77], but have not been studied extensively until recently. Over the past few years, there has been a surge of interest in these problems in discrete and computational geometry. This paper gives a brief survey of some of the recent work in this area, subdivided into three sections based on the type of object being folded: linkages, paper, or polyhedra. See also [O'R98] for a related survey from this conference two years ago.
