- Abstract:
-
We show that every convex polyhedron may be unfolded to one planar piece, and
then refolded to a different convex polyhedron. If the unfolding is restricted
to cut only edges of the polyhedron, we identify several polyhedra that are
“edge-refold rigid” in the sense that each of their unfoldings may
only fold back to the original. For example, each of the 43,380 edge
unfoldings of a dodecahedron may only fold back to the dodecahedron, and we
establish that 11 of the 13 Archimedean solids are also edge-refold rigid. We
begin the exploration of which classes of polyhedra are and are not
edge-refold rigid, demonstrating infinite rigid classes through perturbations,
and identifying one infinite nonrigid class: tetrahedra.
