Volume Maximizing Convex Shape
Let be a convex piece of paper; its boundary may be a smooth curve, or a polygon. A perimeter halving folding is a folding of obtained by identifying two points and on the boundary of that halve the perimeter, and then folding by \textquotedblleft{}gluing\textquotedblright{} to . This always results in a unique convex shape in 3D, a polyhedron if is a convex polygon [Demaine and O'Rourke, 2007]. What unit-area shape achieves the maximum volume possible via a perimeter-halving folding?
