Edge number results for piecewise-Linear knots

Monica Meissen (1998)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The minimal number of edges required to form a knot or link of type K is the edge number of K, and is denoted e(K). When knots are drawn with edges, they are appropriately called piecewise-linear or PL knots. This paper presents some edge number results for PL knots. Included are illustrations of and integer coordinates for the vertices of several prime PL knots.

Torus knots that cannot be untied by twisting.

Similarity:

We give a necessary condition for a torus knot to be untied by a single twisting. By using this result, we give infinitely many torus knots that cannot be untied by a single twisting.
