Fourier Approximation Of Symmetric Ideal Knots

Henryk Gerlach, Mathias Carlen

Enforcing a specific symmetry group on a curve, knotted or not, is not trivial using standard interpolations such as polygons or splines. For a prescribed symmetry group we present a symmetrization process based on a Fourier description of a knot. The pres ...

What are the Longest Ropes on the Unit Sphere?

Henryk Gerlach

We consider the variational problem of finding the longest closed curves of given minimal thickness on the unit sphere. After establishing the existence of solutions for any given thickness between 0 and 1, we explicitly construct for each given thickness ...

On Sphere-Filling Ropes

Henryk Gerlach

What is the longest rope on the unit sphere? Intuition tells us that the answer to this packing problem depends on the rope's thickness. For a countably infinite number of prescribed thickness values we construct and classify all solution curves. The simpl ...
