Apparently David Huffman published only one paper on this subject back
in 1976:
Huffman, David A., Curvature and creases: a primer on paper, IEEE
Transactions on Computers, Vol. C-25, No. 10 (Oct. 1976), 1010-1019.
A New York Times article provides an interesting non-technical
description of his work. See
