A 1-bridge torus knot in a 3-manifold of genus ≤ 1 is a knot drawn on a Heegaard torus with one bridge. We give two types of normal forms to parameterize the family of 1-bridge torus knots that are similar to the Schubert's normal form and the Conway's normal form for 2-bridge knots. For a given Schubert's normal form we give algorithms to determine the number of components and to compute the fundamental group of the complement when the normal form determines a knot. We also give a description of the double branched cover of an ambient 3-manifold branched along a 1-bridge torus knot by using its Conway's normal form and obtain an explicit formula for the first homology of the double cover.

AbstractIn [2] it was conjectured that the coloured Jones function of a framed knot K, or equivalently the Jones polynomials of all parallels of K, is sufficient to determine the Alexander polynomial of K. An explicit formula was proposed in terms of the power series expansion , where JK, k(h) is the SU(2)q quantum invariant of K when coloured by the irreducible module of dimension k, and q = eh is the quantum group parameter.In this paper I show that the explicit formula does give the Alexander polynomial when K is any torus knot.

Genus 2

We show that the 3-fold cyclic branched cover of any genus 2 two-bridge knot [Formula: see text] is an L-space and its fundamental group is not left-orderable. Therefore, the family of 3-fold cyclic branched cover of any genus 2 two-bridge knot [Formula: see text] verifies the [Formula: see text]-space conjecture. We also show that if [Formula: see text] is a two-bridge knot with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], then the fundamental group of the 5-fold cyclic branched cover of [Formula: see text] is not left-orderable, which will complete the proof that the fundamental group of the 5-fold cyclic branched cover of any genus 1 two-bridge knot is not left-orderable.

Let [Formula: see text] be the family of two bridge knots of slope [Formula: see text]. We calculate the volumes of the [Formula: see text] cone-manifolds using the Schläfli formula. We present the concrete and explicit formula of them. We apply the general instructions of Hilden, Lozano and Montesinos-Amilibia and extend the Ham, Mednykh and Petrov’s methods. As an application, we give the volumes of the cyclic coverings over those knots. For the fundamental group of [Formula: see text], we take and tailor Hoste and Shanahan’s. As a byproduct, we give an affirmative answer for their question whether their presentation is actually derived from Schubert’s canonical two-bridge diagram or not.

In [9] L. Moser classified all manifolds obtained by Dehn surgery on torus knots. In particular she proved the following (see also [8, Chapter IV]).Theorem 1 [9]. Nontrivial surgery with slope m/n on a nontrivial torus knot T(p, q) gives a manifold with cyclic fundamental group iff m = npq ± 1 and the manifold obtained is the lens space L(m, nq2).

AbstractWe examine applicability of normal forms of non-holonomic robotic systems to the problem of motion planning. A case study is analyzed of a planar, free-floating space robot consisting of a mobile base equipped with an on-board manipulator. It is assumed that during the robot’s motion its conserved angular momentum is zero. The motion planning problem is first solved at velocity level, and then torques at the joints are found as a solution of an inverse dynamics problem. A novelty of this paper lies in using the chained normal form of the robot’s dynamics and corresponding feedback transformations for motion planning at the velocity level. Two basic cases are studied, depending on the position of mounting point of the on-board manipulator. Comprehensive computational results are presented, and compared with the results provided by the Endogenous Configuration Space Approach. Advantages and limitations of applying normal forms for robot motion planning are discussed.

Kolmogorov's Theorem

This paper addresses mathematical aspects of fuzzy logic. The main results obtained in this paper are: 1. the introduction of a concept of normal form in fuzzy logic using hedges; 2. using Kolmogorov’s theorem, we prove that all logical operations in fuzzy logic have normal forms; 3. for min-max operators, we obtain an approximation result similar to the universal approximation property of neural networks.

Braid Index

A twisted torus knot [Formula: see text] is a torus knot [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] adjacent strands twisted fully [Formula: see text] times. In this paper, we determine the braid index of the knot [Formula: see text] when the parameters [Formula: see text] satisfy [Formula: see text]. If the last parameter [Formula: see text] additionally satisfies [Formula: see text], then we also determine the parameters [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] is a torus knot.

The Relationship

The subject is a localized disturbance in the form of a torus knot of an otherwise featureless continuum. The knot's topologically quantized, self-sustaining nature emerges in an elementary, straightforward way on the basis of a simple geometric model, one that constrains the differential geometric basis it otherwise shares with General Relativity (GR). Two approaches are employed to generate the knot's solitonic nature, one emphasizing basic differential geometry and the other based on a Lagrangian. The relationship to GR is also examined, especially in terms of the formulation of an energy density for the Lagrangian. The emergent knot formalism is used to derive estimates of some measurable quantities for a certain elementary particle model documented in previous publications. Also emerging is the compatibility of the torus knot formalism and, by extension, that of the cited particle model, with general relativity as well as with the Dirac theoretic notion of antiparticles.

Using Kauffman's model of flat knotted ribbons, we demonstrate how all regular polygons of at least seven sides can be realized by ribbon constructions of torus knots. We calculate length to width ratios for these constructions thereby bounding the Ribbonlength of the knots. In particular, we give evidence that the closed (respectively, truncation) Ribbonlength of a (q + 1,q) torus knot is (2q + 1) cot (π/(2q + 1)) (respectively, 2q cot (π/(2q + 1))). Using these calculations, we provide the bounds c1 ≤ 2/π and c2 ≥ 5/3 cot π/5 for the constants c1 and c2 that relate Ribbonlength R(K) and crossing number C(K) in a conjecture of Kusner: c1 C(K) ≤ R(K) ≤ c2 C(K).
