Abstract:

Folding and Unfolding   originated from ancient
paper games in east Asia. The result is interesting and
easily understand by people. But in theory, the solutions
to folding problems are difficult and complicated to derive

Motivated by some recent applications like robot
movement and  protein folding there has been some
exciting progress in recent years.

In this seminar, we will talk about some general problems
from this area as well as some results and open problems.
