|
when should mirror images be equal?
|
when both images have a crossing number which is even
|
|
tricolorability
|
1) can't be all one color
2) each crossing must have 3 different colors 3) each strand must be one solid color |
|
knot diagram and its mirror image relation
|
a knot diagram and it mirror image have the same c#, but opposite crossings
|
|
equilateral triangle
|
r1m1 = m1r1^2
m1^2 = 1 r1^3 = 1 |
|
translation
|
points/figure slide in direction up/down or left/right equally distanced
no fixed points |
|
rotation
|
points/figure rotates or turns around a fixed point (rotocenter) with equally distanced points
fixed point: rotocenter |
|
reflection
|
points/figure reflect or are flipped to show the mirror image along the fixed mirror line with equally distanced points
fixed point: mirror line |
|
rot. + rot.
|
rot. or trans.
angle 1 + angle 2 = 0 --> translation angle 1 + angle 2 doesn't equal 0 --> rotation |
|
rigid motion
|
preserves the distances and relationships between points
|
|
only rigid motion with a single fixed point
|
rotation
|
|
changing the order in which you combine two rotations (r then s vs. s then r)
|
changes the center of the resulting rotation as well as the angle
