Determining Knots with Quadratic Polynomial Precision
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method for determining knots in parametric curve interpolation is presented. The determined knots have a quadratic polynomial precision in the sense that an interpolation scheme which reproduces quadratic polynomials would reproduce parametric quadratic polynomials if the new method is used to determine knots in the interpolation process. Testing results on the efficiency of the new method are also included.

The Polynomial Behaviour of Some Knot Invariants
Using the new approach of braiding sequences we reprove the Lin-Wang conjecture, giving a quadratic upper bound for the crossing number of alternating/positive knots, determining uniquely a Vassiliev invariant, and thus making orientation and mutation sensitivity of Vassiliev invariants decidable on alternating/positive knots/mutants only. We give an exponential upper bound for the number of Va...
متن کاملApproximation and geometric modeling with simplex B-splines associated with irregular triangles
Bivariate quadratic simplicial B-splines defined by their corresponding set of knots derived from a (suboptimal) constrained Delaunay triangulation of the domain are employed to obtain a Cl-smooth surface. The generation of triangle vertices is adjusted to the area1 distribution of the data in the domain. We emphasize here that the vertices of the triangles initially define the knots of the B-s...
متن کاملComputing the Arrow Polynomial
Determining if two knots are not equivalent in an e cient manner is important in the study of knots. The arrow polynomial, which is calculated from a virtual knot diagram and is invariant under the Reidemeister moves, can be used to determine if two knots are not equivalent and determine a lower bound on the virtual crossing number. In this paper, we present the necessary data structures and al...
متن کاملCounting simple knots via arithmetic invariants
Knot theory and arithmetic invariant theory are two fields of mathematics that rely on algebraic invariants. We investigate the connections between the two, and give a framework for addressing asymptotic counting questions relating to knots and knot invariants. We study invariants of simple (2q − 1)-knots when q is odd; these include the Alexander module and Blanchfield pairing. In the case tha...
متن کاملConstructing parametric quadratic curves
Constructing a parametric spline curve to pass through a set of data points requires assigning a knot to each data point. In this paper we discuss the construction of parametric quadratic splines and present a method to assign knots to a set of planar data points. The assigned knots are invariant under a ne transformations of the data points, and can be used to construct a parametric quadratic ...
