Abstract

We prove that every knot type in R3\mathbb{R}^3 can be parametrised by a smooth function f:S1R3f:S^1\to\mathbb{R}^3, f(t)=(x(t),y(t),z(t))f(t)=(x(t),y(t),z(t)) such that all derivatives f(n)(t)=(x(n)(t),y(n)(t),z(n)(t))f^{(n)}(t)=(x^{(n)}(t),y^{(n)}(t),z^{(n)}(t)), nNn\in\mathbb{N}, parametrise knots and every knot type appears in the corresponding sequence of knots. We also study knot types that arise as limits of such sequences.
