Complexity of planar and spherical curves
Abstract
We show that the maximal number of singular moves required to pass between any two regularly homotopic planar or spherical curves with at most n crossings, grows quadratically with respect to n. Furthermore, this can be done with all curves along the way having at most n+2 crossings.
