Random knots using Chebyshev billiard table diagrams (Q500907): Difference between revisions

The object of this paper is a random knot diagram model. The authors apply probabilistic methods to a scheme that uses Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind to parametrize a knotted curve. The main theorem of this paper gives the probability of choosing a knot at random among all knots with bridge index at most 2.
