Unfolding Genus-2 Orthogonal Polyhedra with Linear Refinement

We show that every orthogonal polyhedron of genus g≤2 can be unfolded without overlap while using only a linear number of orthogonal cuts (parallel to the polyhedron edges). This is the first result on unfolding general orthogonal polyhedra beyond genus-0. Our unfolding algorithm relies on the exist...
