Reidemeister moves in Gauss diagrams

Sandy Ganzell, Ellen Lehet, Cristina Lopez, Gilbert Magallon and Alyson Thompson

Vol. 14 (2021), No. 3, 431–438
Abstract

Recognizing and performing Reidemeister moves in Gauss diagrams is a useful technique for manipulating virtual knots. For R1 and R2 moves, this process is well understood. We review these cases and then provide a new, elementary algorithm for recognizing R3 moves.
