The Dynamics of Quadrilateral Folding

&
Pages 209-222 | Published online: 03 Apr 2012
 

Abstract

When a quadrilateral undergoes a certain infinite folding process, an intricate curve is traced out by its transformed vertices. The curve possesses attractive symmetry properties. We study the folding as a dynamical system in C 4, which is partially described by a billiard-like dynamical system on the bounded component of an elliptic curve associated with the squared diagonal lengths.
