Abstract

The harmonic knot (˝a,b,c)\H(a,b,c) is parametrized as K(t)=(Ta(t),Tb(t),Tc(t))K(t)= (T_a(t) ,T_b (t), T_c (t)) where aa, bb and cc are pairwise coprime integers and TnT_n is the degree nn Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind. We classify the harmonic knots (˝a,b,c)\H(a,b,c) for a4. a \le 4. We study the knots (˝2n1,2n,2n+1),\H (2n-1, 2n, 2n+1), the knots (˝5,n,n+1),\H(5,n,n+1), and give a table of the simplest harmonic knots.
