Thus, for example, let us reproduce Willerton's
``fish'' [Wi1,Wi2], the result of
plotting the values of against the values of
, where
is the (standardly normalized) type 2 invariant of
,
is the (standardly normalized) type 3 invariant of
, and
where
runs over a set of knots with equal crossing numbers (10, in
the example below):
In[3]:= | ListPlot[ Join @@ Table[ K = Knot[10, k] ; v2 = Vassiliev[2][K]; v3 = Vassiliev[3][K]; {{v2, v3}, {v2, -v3}}, {k, 165} ], PlotStyle -> PointSize[0.02], PlotRange -> All, AspectRatio -> 1 ] |
