Ochiai unknot
editThe picture of "the Ochiai unknot" is not the unknot that took a long time for a computer to untangle. Ochiai has designed a number of of difficult unknots, and the pictured one is reportedly in his textbook about computational knot theory[1].
The paper by Andrew, Kavraki, Lydia[2] (cited in the article) cites the paper by Grzeszczuk, Huang, and Kauffman[3]. They show their unknot on page 271, figure 10, and it is obviously more complicated. They cite Ochiai's paper[4], but unfortunately they do not specify which of the three knots it is. It appears to be the knot in figure 3.
I will move the image to unknot and add these citations. I will leave it for later or someone else to verify that figure 3 of Ochiai's paper is the unknot from Grzeszczuk, Huang, and Kauffman and redraw it for Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmill (talk • contribs) 21:53, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
