Metric description of flexible octahedra
For flexibility of an octahedron we find necessary metric conditions in terms of edge lengths. These conditions yield a new description of Bricard's octahedra, suitable for solving some problems in metric geometry of octahedra, in particular, for searching the proof of I.\,Hh~Sabitov hypothesis that all non-leading coefficients of the volume polynomial for an octahedron of third type are zero.
