contents:

1. "Energy94.ps"
Text and tables for the paper "Energy functions for knots: beginning to predict physical behavior" (11/94 - expansion of talk at IMA July 94)

"Energy94Fig1.ps" - "Energy94Fig8.ps" are the eight figures for that paper.
2. "TwistedFreedmanUnknot.ps"
This is a rather complicated UNknot that has successfully been untangled by Wu's gradient flow for the polygonal knot energy U(sub)md .
3. "EnergyPolyg93.ps"
This is the text (figures not yet available online) of the paper "Energy functions for Polygonal Knots" Journal of Knot Theory and its Ramifications 3 (1994) 299-320 (reprinted in book Random Knotting and Linking (K.C. Millett and D.W. Sumners eds.), World Scientific, 1994)
4. "ThicknessOfKnots.ps"

[The dvi version is much shorter==>faster download]

This is the text (one figure listed here below) of the paper "Thickness of Knots" (with R. Litherland, O. Durumeric, and E. Rawdon); submitted to journal 7/96.
