Ribbon knot

In the mathematical area of knot theory, a ribbon knot is a knot that bounds a self-intersecting disk with only ribbon singularities. Intuitively, this kind of singularity can be formed by cutting a slit in the disk and passing another part of the disk through the slit. More precisely, this type of singularity is a closed arc consisting of intersection points of the disk with itself, such that the preimage of this arc consists of two arcs in the disc, one completely in the interior of the disk and the other having its two endpoints on the disk boundary.

How to Tie a Taut Line Knot

This knot is very useful for adjusting tie downs quickly and easily. For example, a tarp could be held down by a series of these knots and be made very tight so the wind cannot make it rise, and easily be removed simply by sliding the knots later. A taut line knot is also used to keep larg

How to Tie the Most Useful Knot in the World (Bowline)

This is a short video to help those who have seen many of my past videos where I use a bowline knot. This is the most useful knot you will ever learn. It will not slip when in use, and comes undone easily even after being tightened under thousands of pounds. #NightHawkInLight -~-~~-~~~-~~

Clément Maria (10/23/19): Parameterized complexity of quantum invariants of knots

Title: Parameterized complexity of quantum invariants of knots Abstract: We give a general fixed parameter tractable algorithm to compute quantum invariants of knots presented by diagrams, whose complexity is singly exponential in the carving-width (or the tree-width) of the knot diagram.
