      Kauffman, Louis; Velimirović, Ljubica; Najdanović, Marija; Rančić, Svetozar (World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd., 2019-09-12)
      We discuss the infinitesimal bending of curves and knots in R3. A brief overview of the results on the infinitesimal bending of curves is outlined. Change of the Willmore energy, as well as of the Möbius energy under ...
    • Knot Bending 

      Najdanović, Marija; Velimirović, Ljubica; Rančić, Svetozar
      In this paper we point out the geometric aspect of knots. By the term knot we mean a closed self-avoiding curve in a 3-dimensional Euclidean space. We consider infinitesimal bending of knots and examine the behavior of ...
