Covering folded shapes

Can folding a piece of paper flat make it larger? We explore whether a shape <span>S </span><span>must be scaled to cover a flat-folded copy of itself. We consider both single folds and arbitrary folds (continuous piecewise isometries \(S\to\mathbb{R}^2\)). The underlying problem i...
