Abstract:
We construct some example of a closed nondegenerate nonflexible polyhedron $P$ in Euclidean $3$-space that is the limit of a sequence of nondegenerate flexible polyhedra each of which is combinatorially equivalent to $P$. This implies that the set of nondegenerate flexible polyhedra combinatorially equivalent to $P$ is not algebraic.
Keywords:
flexible polyhedron, dihedral angle, Bricard octahedron, algebraic set.
