Computer Programs for Knot Tabulation
Abstract
Description
While the problem of knot classification is far from solved, it is possible to create computer programs that can be used to tabulate knots up to a desired degree of complexity. Here we discuss the main ideas on which such programs can be based. We also present the actual results obtained after running a computer program on which knots are denoted through regular projections.
