Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We construct a completed version (Formula Presented) of the configuration space of a linkage Γ in ℝ3, which takes into account the ways one link can touch another. We also describe a simplified version (Formula Presented) which is a blow-up of the space of immersions of Γ in ℝ3. A number of simple detailed examples are given.
