Equilateral stick knots: 3_1 and 4_1
Description
The 3_1 trefoil and 4_1 figure-8 knots built using the minimum number of sticks. These knots were created by Aidan Aengus Kitchen, Arun Ghosh, and Alex Wolff (students in Math 383D Knot Theory Spring 2023). A description of how these knots were built can be found here: https://mathvis.academic.wlu.edu/2023/05/17/modeling-and-3d-printing-equilateral-stick-knots/ The data for the vertices of these knots by Thomas D. Eddy. stick-knot-gen, efficiently generate and classify random stick knots in confinement: https://github.com/thomaseddy/stick-knot-gen/tree/master/stick_number/mseq_knots from this paper: Thomas D.
