Abstract: We investigate enumeration of distinct flat-foldable crease patterns under the following assumptions: positive integer n is given; every pattern is composed of n lines incident to the center of a sheet of paper; every angle between adjacent lines is equal to 2π/n; every line is assigned one of “mountain,” “valley,” and “flat (or consequently unfolded)”; crease patterns are considered to be equivalent if they are equal up to rotation and reflection. In this natural problem, we can use two well-known theorems for flat-foldability: the Kawasaki Theorem and the Maekawa Theorem in computational origami. Unfortunately, however, they are not enough to characterize all flat-foldable crease patterns. Therefore, so far, we have to enumerate and check flat-foldability one by one using computer. In this study, we develop the first algorithm for the above stated problem by combining these results in a nontrivial way and show its analysis of efficiency.
