The volume of polyhedron as a function of its metric
Fundamentalʹnaâ i prikladnaâ matematika, Tome 2 (1996) no. 4, pp. 1235-1246
It is proved that the volume of any polyhedron is root of some polynomial whose coefficients are not depending on the concrete form of the polyhedron in three-space under the condition that its metric is known apriori. As consequence we have a proof of the “bellows conjecture” affirming the invariance of volume of a flexible polyhedron in the process of its flexion.
