Isotopy Convergence Theorem
نویسنده
چکیده
When approximating a space curve, it is natural to consider whether the knot type of the original curve is preserved in the approximant. This preservation is of strong contemporary interest in computer graphics and visualization. We establish a criterion to preserve knot type under approximation that relies upon convergence in both distance and total curvature.

Convergence and Isotopy Type for Graphs of Finite Total Curvature
Generalizing Milnor’s result that an FTC (finite total curvature) knot has an isotopic inscribed polygon, we show that any two nearby knotted FTC graphs are isotopic by a small isotopy. We also show how to obtain sharper constants when the starting curve is smooth. We apply our main theorem to prove a limiting result for essential subarcs of a knot.

The main purpose of this paper is to establish different types of convergence theorems for fuzzy Henstock integrable functions, introduced by Wu and Gong cite{wu:hiff}. In fact, we have proved fuzzy uniform convergence theorem, convergence theorem for fuzzy uniform Henstock integrable functions and fuzzy monotone convergence theorem. Finally, a necessary and sufficient condition under which th...
متن کاملA strong convergence theorem for solutions of zero point problems and fixed point problems
Zero point problems of the sum of two monotone mappings and fixed point problems of a strictly pseudocontractive mapping are investigated. A strong convergence theorem for the common solutions of the problems is established in the framework of Hilbert spaces.

In this paper we first give a one-move version of Markov’s braid theorem for knot isotopy in S that sharpens the classical theorem. Then a relative version of Markov’s theorem concerning a fixed braided portion in the knot. We also prove an analogue of Markov’s theorem for knot isotopy in knot complements. Finally we extend this last result to prove a Markov theorem for links in an arbitrary or...
متن کاملGeometric Topology of Stratified Spaces
A theory of tubular neighborhoods for strata in manifold stratified spaces is developed. In these topologically stratified spaces, manifold stratified approximate fibrations and teardrops play the role that fibre bundles and mapping cylinders play in smoothly stratified spaces. Applications include a multiparameter isotopy extension theorem, neighborhood germ classification and a topological ve...
