The Shapes of Tight Composite Knots
Jason Cantarella, Al LaPointe, Eric Rawdon
We present new computations of tight shapes obtained using the constrained gradient descent code RIDGERUNNER for 544 composite knots with 12 and fewer crossings, expanding our data…

Intrinsic symmetry groups of links with 8 and fewer crossings
Michael Berglund, Jason Cantarella, Meredith Perrie Casey +9
We present an elementary derivation of the "intrinsic" symmetry groups for knots and links of 8 or fewer crossings. The standard symmetry group for a link is the mapping class grou…
