Unfolding Polyhedra via Cut-Tree Truncation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove that an infinite class of convex polyhedra, produced by restricted vertex truncations, always unfold without overlap. The class includes the “domes,” providing a simpler proof that these unfold without overlap.

Unfolding Convex Polyhedra via Radially Monotone Cut Trees
A notion of “radially monotone” cut paths is introduced as an effective choice for finding a non-overlapping edge-unfolding of a convex polyhedron. These paths have the property that the two sides of the cut avoid overlap locally as the cut is infinitesimally opened by the curvature at the vertices along the path. It is shown that a class of planar, triangulated convex domains always have a rad...
متن کاملUnfolding Convex Polyhedra via Quasigeodesic Star Unfoldings
We extend the notion of a star unfolding to be based on a simple quasigeodesic loop Q rather than on a point. This gives a new general method to unfold the surface of any convex polyhedron P to a simple, planar polygon: shortest paths from all vertices of P to Q are cut, and all but one segment of Q is cut.
متن کاملStar Unfolding Convex Polyhedra via Quasigeodesic Loops
We extend the notion of star unfolding to be based on a quasigeodesic loop Q rather than on a point. This gives a new general method to unfold the surface of any convex polyhedron P to a simple (nonoverlapping) planar polygon: cut along one shortest path from each vertex of P to Q, and cut all but one segment of Q.
متن کاملUnfolding Genus-2 Orthogonal Polyhedra with Linear Refinement
We show that every orthogonal polyhedron of genus g ≤ 2 can be unfolded without overlap while using only a linear number of orthogonal cuts (parallel to the polyhedron edges). This is the first result on unfolding general orthogonal polyhedra beyond genus-0. Our unfolding algorithm relies on the existence of at most 2 special leaves in what we call the “unfolding tree” (which ties back to the g...
متن کاملUnunfoldable polyhedra with convex faces
Unfolding a convex polyhedron into a simple planar polygon is a well-studied problem. In this paper, we study the limits of unfoldability by studying nonconvex polyhedra with the same combinatorial structure as convex polyhedra. In particular, we give two examples of polyhedra, one with 24 convex faces and one with 36 triangular faces, that cannot be unfolded by cutting along edges. We further ...
