Infos

This text discusses topics including: the shapes of knotted magnetic flux lines; the forms of knotted arrangements of bistable chemical systems; the trajectories of knotted solitons; and the shapes of knots which can be tied using the shortest piece of elastic rope with a constant diameter.

---

In this book, experts in different fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology present unique forms of knots which satisfy certain preassigned criteria relevant to a given field. They discuss the shapes of knotted magnetic flux lines, the forms of knotted arrangements of bistable chemical systems, the trajectories of knotted solitons, and the shapes of knots which can be tied using the shortest piece of elastic rope with a constant diameter.
