Unfolding some classes of polycubes
Minařík, Josef ; Kynčl, Jan (advisor) ; Tiwary, Hans Raj (referee)
An unfolding of a polyhedron is a cutting along its surface such that the surface remains connected and it can be flattened to the plane without any overlap. An edge- unfolding is a restricted kind of unfolding, we are only allowed to cut along the edges of the faces of the polyhedron. A polycube is a special case of orthogonal polyhedron formed by glueing several unit cubes together face-to-face. In the case of polycubes, the edges of all cubes are available for cuts in edge-unfolding. We focus on one-layer polycubes and present several algorithms to unfold some classes of them. We show that it is possible to edge-unfold any one-layer polycube with cubic holes, thin horizontal holes and separable rectangular holes. The question of edge-unfolding general one-layer polycubes remains open. We also briefly study some classes of multi-layer polycubes. 1
