We show that several classes of polyhedra are joined by a sequence of O(1) refolding steps, where each refolding step unfolds the current polyhedron (allowing cuts anywhere on the surface and allowing overlap) and folds that unfolding into exactly the next polyhedron; in other words, a polyhedron is refoldable into another polyhedron if they share a common unfolding. Specifically, assuming equal surface area, we prove that (1) any two tetramonohedra are refoldable to each other, (2) any doubly covered triangle is refoldable to a tetramonohedron, (3) any (augmented) regular prismatoid and doubly covered regular polygon is refoldable to a tetramonohedron, (4) any tetrahedron has a 3-step refolding sequence to a tetramonohedron, and (5) the regular dodecahedron has a 4-step refolding sequence to a tetramonohedron. In particular, we obtain a ≤6-step refolding sequence between any pair of Platonic solids, applying (5) for the dodecahedron and (1) and/or (2) for all other Platonic solids. As far as the authors know, this is the first result about common unfolding involving the regular dodecahedron.

任何柏拉图式的固体都可以通过 O(1) 次重新折叠转换为另一个

我们表明几类多面体由一系列(1个)重新折叠步骤,其中每个重新折叠步骤都会展开当前多面体(允许在表面上的任何地方进行切割并允许重叠)并将展开的折叠完全折叠成下一个多面体;换句话说,如果一个多面体具有共同的展开方式,则它们可以重新折叠成另一个多面体。具体来说,假设表面积相等,我们证明 (1) 任何两个四面体都可以相互折叠,(2) 任何双重覆盖的三角形都可以重新折叠成四面体,(3) 任何(增强的)正棱柱体和双重覆盖的正多边形是可重折叠成四面体,(4) 任何四面体都具有 3 步重折叠序列到四面体,以及 (5) 正十二面体具有 4 步重折叠序列到四面体。特别是,我们在任何一对柏拉图立体之间获得了≤6 步的重折叠序列,将 (5) 应用于十二面体,将 (1) 和/或 (2) 应用于所有其他柏拉图式多面体。据作者所知,这是涉及正十二面体的共同展开的第一个结果。
