Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The flat foldability problem is a typical problem of origami mathematics, which asks whether or not a given paper with creases each of which has a mountain-valley assignment is flat foldable. This problem is know to be in NP-complete. However, some subproblems that can be solved in polynomial time have been known, and a representative example is that the paper is limited to a rectangular strip and the creases are perpendicular to the long axis of the strip, which is called one-dimensional flat folding problem with mountain-valley-assigned creases, and a linear time algorithm was given by Arkin et al. In this study, we tried to solve a problem that the angle formed by creases is equal to an arbitrary angle $¥theta$, which is not limited to $¥pi/2$, i.e., all creases are parallel. We call this problem strip flat folding problem with parallel oblique mountain-valley-assigned creases. As a remarkable feature when $¥theta$ is not equal to $¥pi/2$, if the distance between the two creases is apart in some value (a constant fixed by the width of the strip and $¥theta$), the strip can be separated into two, since they never affect each other. Therefore, in this case, we can solve the two problems independently. We present a linear-time algorithm for the strip flat folding problem with parallel oblique mountain-valley-assigned creases with an arbitrary angle $¥theta$ by applying the above separate operation to the algorithm of the one-dimensional flat folding problem with mountain-valley-assigned creases.
