Straight knots

• Published in 2018
• Added on 2018-02-01

We introduce a new invariant, the straight number of a knot. We give some relations to crossing number and petal number. Then we discuss the methods we used to compute the straight numbers for all the knots in the standard knot table and present some interesting questions and the full table.
