The discovery of all possible ways to tie a tie depends on a mathematical formulation of the act of tying a tie. In their papers (which are technical) and book (which is for a lay audience, apart from an appendix), the authors show that necktie knots are equivalent to persistent random walks on a triangular lattice, with some constraints on how the walks begin and end.
Interlaced triquetra which is a trefoil knot. The triquetra (/ t r aɪ ˈ k w ɛ t r ə / try-KWEH-truh; from the Latin adjective triquetrus "three-cornered") is a triangular figure composed of three interlaced arcs, or (equivalently) three overlapping vesicae piscis lens shapes.
Description: Triquetra interlaced with a circle (ribbons or pseudo-Celtic knotwork). This is a traditional Christian Trinitarian symbol, but similar signs are also sometimes used by new agers or neo-pagans (though more often in non-interlaced form, as in Zoso.svg, Triquetra on book cover.jpg, or Triquetra.jpg).

The knot is named after the Duke of Windsor.He is sometimes credited with its invention [1] alongside his London shirtmaker. [2] It is however the case that the Duke achieved the wide knot that was his signature by wearing ties of thicker cloth that produced a wider knot from the conventional four-in-hand, and hence the Windsor knot was likely invented to emulate the Duke's wide knots using ...
Christensen knot (also "cross knot"): An elongated, symmetrical knot, whose main feature is the cruciform structure made by knotting the necktie through the double loop made in the front (Li Ro Ci Lo Ri Lo Ri Co T T, Knot 25 2). While it can be made with modern neckties, it is most effective with thinner ties of consistent width, which fell out ...
Knot patterns first appeared in the third and fourth centuries AD and can be seen in Roman floor mosaics of that time. Interesting developments in the artistic use of interlaced knot patterns are found in Byzantine architecture and book illumination , Coptic art , Celtic art, Islamic art , Kievan Rus' book illumination, Ethiopian art , and ...
