Knot Types, Homotopies and Stability of Closed Elastic Rods

The energy minimization problem associated to uniform, isotropic, linearly elastic rods leads to a geometric variational problem for the rod centreline, whose solutions include closed, knotted curves. We give a complete description of the space of closed and quasiperiodic solutions.
