In the first part of the paper, we present an (1+\mu)-approximation algorithm to the minimum-spanning tree of points in a planar arrangement of lines, where the metric is the number of crossings between the spanning tree and the lines. The…

Classically, planning tasks are studied as a two-step process: plan creation and plan execution. In situations where plan creation is slow (for example, due to expensive information access or complex constraints), a natural speed-up tactic…

We introduce the non-self OU sequence and the OU number for link diagrams. Using these, we give a lower bound for the number of necessary Reidemeister moves of type III between two diagrams of the same link.

In \cite{Kim} it is shown that knots in $S_{g} \times S^{1}$ can be presented by virtual diagrams with a decoration, so called, {\em double lines}. In this paper, we study the essential diagram for each knot in $S_{g} \times S^{1}$, which…

The proliferation of number of processing elements (PEs) in parallel computer systems, along with the use of more extensive parallelization of algorithms causes the interprocessor communications dominate VLSI chip space. This paper proposes…

We present a new algorithm for iterating over all permutations of a sequence. The algorithm leverages elementary~$O(1)$ operations on recursive lists. As a result, no new nodes are allocated during the computation. Instead, all elements are…

This paper extends the study of arc crossing change, a local operation on knot diagrams recently introduced by Cericola, from knot diagrams to link diagrams. We consider two types of arc crossing change on link diagrams and discuss when…

In this thesis, Minimal Partitioning (MP) algorithm, an innovative algorithm for enumerating all the spanning trees in an undirected graph is presented. While MP algorithm uses a computational tree graph to traverse all possible spanning…

We define the {\it Wirtinger number} of a link, an invariant closely related to the meridional rank. The Wirtinger number is the minimum number of generators of the fundamental group of the link complement over all meridional presentations…

This report lists the link diagrams in S^3 for all principal congruence link complements for which such a link diagram is known. Several unpublished link diagrams are included. Related to this, we also include one link diagram for an…

Given a knot diagram $D$, we construct a semi-threading circle for it which can be an axis of $D$ as a closed braid depending on knot diagrams. In particular, we consider semi-threading circles for minimal diagrams of a knot with respect to…

In this paper, we introduce a new type of relation between knots called the descendant relation. One knot $H$ is a descendant of another knot $K$ if $H$ can be obtained from a minimal crossing diagram of $K$ by some number of crossing…

We consider a diagrammatic approach to investigate tame knots and links in three dimensional torus $T^3$. We obtain a finite set of generalised Reidemeister moves for equivalent links up to ambient isotopy. We give a presentation for…

Traditionally, knot theorists have considered projections of knots where there are two strands meeting at every crossing. A triple crossing is a crossing where three strands meet at a single point, such that each strand bisects the…

It has been conjectured that the algebraic crossing number of a link is uniquely determined in minimal braid representation. This conjecture is true for many classes of knots and links. The Morton-Franks-Williams inequality gives a lower…

We prove that the spanning trees of any outerplanar triangulation $G$ can be listed so that any two consecutive spanning trees differ in an exchange of two edges that share an end vertex. For outerplanar graphs $G$ with faces of arbitrary…

Knotoids are open ended knot diagrams regarded up to Reidemeister moves and isotopies. The notion is introduced by V.~Turaev in 2012. Two most important numeric characteristics of a knotoid are the crossing number and the height. The latter…

Let $K$ be a link of Conway's normal form $C(m)$, $m \geq 0$, or $C(m,n)$ with $mn\textgreater{}0$, and let $D$ be a trigonal diagram of $K.$ We show that it is possible to transform $D$ into an alternating trigonal diagram, so that all…

The simultaneous crossing number is a new knot invariant which is defined for strongly invertible knots having diagrams with two orthogonal transvergent axes of strong inversions. Because the composition of the two inversions gives a cyclic…

There are infinitely many pretzel links with the same Alexander polynomial (actually with trivial Alexander polynomial). By contrast, in this note we revisit the Jones polynomial of pretzel links and prove that, given a natural number S,…
