Oleg KARPENKOV (Poncelet laboratory, Moscow): Energies of knots and of certain graphs . Energies of knots are functionals on the space of smooth or piecewise smooth knots, this depends on the type of energy. We consider the best-known energies of knots: Mobius energy, energy of osculating circles and some other energy functionals, and also we present a new Mm-energy of a knot. ... The described approach can be generalized to the case of graphs for some special types of energies. ...
