The authors consider a theorem due to \textit{E. Denne} and \textit{J. M. Sullivan} [in: Discrete differential geometry. Basel: Birkhäuser. 163--174 (2008; Zbl 1177.53011)] which provides sufficient conditions under which two knots are ambient isotopic. The authors use this theorem in the context of stick knots (piecewise linear (PL) knots) via computational topology and mathematical visualization. The \(4_1\) or figure-eight knot is considered in particular.
