The bellows conjecture for flexible polyhedra in Euclidean space
The bellows conjecture for flexible polyhedra in Euclidean space
A flexor is a flexible polyhedron in , and a flexion is a continuous deformation preserving its combinatorial type and the shapes of its faces. The bellows conjecture. The volume of any flexor in is constant during the flexion. The conjecture arose from the observation that the volumes of the first known flexible polyhedra remained constant during flexion; its higher-dimensional and non-Euclidean generalisations are stated separately in the source.
