A simple proof of correctness of folding the regular heptagon

  • Zoltán Kovács

摘要

We give a simple proof of correctness of folding the regular heptagon with origami. Our proof avoids using complex geometry, only polynomials and basic algebraic geometry is required with simple rigidity considerations. We also exploit automated reasoning via efficient black-box computing of Gröbner bases. Our proof can be used in classrooms where learners are not familiar with complex numbers.
