The Lissajous projection conjecture
The Lissajous projection conjecture
A knot has a Lissajous projection if its projection to the - plane arises from a second-order Lissajous parametrization, with coordinates of the form
for integer frequencies and real phase shifts . The Lissajous projection conjecture. Every knot has a Lissajous projection. The source motivates this by observing that sufficiently large frequencies may produce the required projections; whether every knot admits one remains open in the supplied text.
