Writhe-Based Polymer Link Classification Using Machine Learning
Jack Beda, Djordje Mihajlovic, Kasturi Barkataki, Davide Michieletto
Unique and rapid classification of knots and links is an open mathematical problem that is relevant to a range of (bio)physical systems, including polymer melts, DNA, and proteins. In this paper, we explore a data-driven approach to the classification problem of link topology. Ex…
