A knot equivalent to a polygonal knot. Knots which are not tame are called wild knots.

One of a set of numbers defined in terms of an invariant generated by the finite cyclic covering spaces of a knot complement. The torsion numbers for knots up to 9 crossings ...

A tubular neighborhood of a submanifold N in M is an embedding of the normal bundle (nu_N) of N into M, i.e., f:nu_N->M, where the image of the zero section of the normal ...

Except for triangles, every simple polygon has at least two nonoverlapping ears.

The unlink, also called the trivial link, of n components consist of n disjoint circles in a plane (Rolfsen 1976, p. 65).

The system of partial differential equations (partial_t+partial_z^3+partial_(z^_)^3)v+partial_z(uv)+partial_(z^_)(vw) (1) partial_(z^_)u=3partial_zv (2) ...

Let S be a set of simple polygonal obstacles in the plane, then the nodes of the visibility graph of S are just the vertices of S, and there is an edge (called a visibility ...

An open three-manifold which is simply connected but is topologically distinct from Euclidean three-space.

The letter O is used for a number of different purposes in mathematics. The double-struck O is sometimes used to represent octonions. The symbols O(x) (sometimes called the ...

The following integral transform relationship, known as the Abel transform, exists between two functions f(x) and g(t) for 0<alpha<1, f(x) = int_0^x(g(t)dt)/((x-t)^alpha) (1) ...
