A formula for the minimal coordination number of a parallel bundle
E. L. Starostin
An exact formula for the minimal coordination numbers of the parallel packed bundle of rods is presented based on an optimal thickening scenario. Hexagonal and square lattices are…

Writhe formulas and antipodal points in plectonemic DNA configurations
S. Neukirch, E. L. Starostin
The linking and writhing numbers are key quantities when characterizing the structure of a piece of supercoiled DNA. Defined as double integrals over the shape of the double-helix,…

Tension-induced multistability in inextensible helical ribbons
E. L. Starostin, G. H. M. van der Heijden
We study the non-monotonic force-extension behaviour of helical ribbons using a new model for inextensible elastic strips. Unlike previous rod models our model predicts hysteresis…
