We introduce and study knotoids. Knotoids are represented by diagrams in a surface which differ from the usual knot diagrams in that the underlying curve is a segment rather than a circle. Knotoid diagrams are considered up to Reidemeister…

We study the double slice genus of a knot, a natural generalization of slice genus. We define a notion called band number, a natural generalization of band unknotting number, and prove it is an upper bound on double slice genus. Our bound…

This paper presents an approach to model melodies (and music pieces in general) as networks. Notes of a melody can be seen as nodes of a network that are connected whenever these are played in sequence. This creates a directed graph. By…

The representation of basic elements of music in terms of discrete audio signals is often used in software for musical creation and design. Nevertheless, there is no unified approach that relates these elements to the discrete samples of…

The presence of slipknots in configurations of proteins and DNA has been shown to affect their functionality, or alter it entirely. Historically, polymers are modeled as polygonal chains in space. As an alternative to space curves, we…
