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.
The small knot, also known as oriental knot, Kent knot, or simple knot, is the simplest method of tying a necktie. Unlike the Four-in-hand knot and Windsor knot, the small knot is not self-releasing. The small knot is tied inside out, though this can be mitigated by giving the tie a half-twist during the tying process.

A blue Pratt knot. The Pratt knot is a method of tying a necktie.It is also known as the Shelby knot. [1] [2] [3] The knot was created by Jerry Pratt, an employee of the US Chamber of Commerce in the late 1950s. [4]
The four-in-hand knot is a method of tying a necktie.Some reports state that carriage drivers tied their reins with a four-in-hand knot, while others claim that the carriage drivers wore their scarves in the manner of a four-in-hand, but the most likely etymology is that members of the Four-in-Hand Club in London began to wear the neckwear, making it fashionable.
The reef knot can capsize if one of its standing ends is pulled.. A knot that has capsized or spilled has deformed into a different structure. Although capsizing is sometimes the result of incorrect tying or misuse, it can also be done purposefully in certain cases to strengthen the knot (see the carrick bend [4]) or to untie a seized knot which would otherwise be difficult to release (see ...
