\section{Knots and Sticks}
|

|
|
||||||
|
\definition{}
|
||||||
|
The \textit{stick number} of a knot is the smallest number of \say{sticks} you must glue together to make the knot. An example of this is below.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\problem{}
|
||||||
|
Make the trefoil knot with sticks. \par
|
||||||
|
How many do you need?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\begin{solution}
|
||||||
|
\begin{center}

\includegraphics[width=20mm]{images/stick trefoil.png}

\problem{}
|
||||||
|
How many sticks will you need to make a figure-eight knot?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\begin{solution}
|
||||||
|
The figure-eight knot has stick number 7. \par
|
||||||
|
In fact, this is the \textit{only} knot with stick number 7.
|
||||||
|
\end{solution}

\problem{}
|
||||||
|
Make the knot $5_1$ (refer to the knot table) with eight sticks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\vfill
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\problem{}
|
||||||
|
Show that the only nontrivial knot you can make with six sticks is the trefoil.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\vfill
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\problem{}
|
||||||
|
Let $S(k)$ be the stick number of a knot $k$. \par
|
||||||
|
Show that $S(j \boxplus k) \leq s(j) + s(k) - 1$
|

\problem{}
|
||||||
|
What is the stick number of $(\text{trefoil} \boxplus \text{trefoil})$?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\begin{solution}
|
||||||
|
You can make $(\text{trefoil} \boxplus \text{trefoil})$ with 8 sticks.
