Gordian Unknots
P. Pieranski, S. Przybyl, A. Stasiak
Numerical simulations indicate that there exist conformations of the unknot, tied on a finite piece of rope, entangled in such a manner, that they cannot be disentangled to the tor…

The ideal trefoil knot
P. Pieranski, S. Przybyl
The most tight conformation of the trefoil knot found by the SONO algorithm is presented. Structure of the set of its self-contact points is analyzed.

Helical close packings of ideal ropes
S. Przybyl, P. Pieranski
Closely packed conformations of helices formed on the ideal rope are considered. The pitch versus radius relations which define a closely packed helix are determined. The relations…
