BP369 All points (small white circles) on one figure can be glued together to make the other figure vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
CROSSREFS

See BP851 for a version where the figure must stay within the 2D plane and cannot pass through itself while being deformed.

To hint at the solution, left examples can be arranged in a sequence to show the unknot tying itself.

BP809 Figures can be transformed into one another by smooth stretching (before and after there are the same crossroad-points; there is a curve connecting points before if and only if there is a curve connecting those points after) vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Left examples are topologically homeomorphic figures.


For some examples one can imagine pulling the shape "out of" the 2d square in 3d in order to transform it, and then laying it flat back in the 2d square. See BP810 for the version where this is not allowed.

BP810 Figures can be transformed into one another by smooth stretching (intersection points stay constant; paths connecting those points remain), while remaining within the 2d box vs. movement out of the plane required.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
CROSSREFS

All examples here fit left in BP809, a version where the figures are allowed to pass through themselves while being deformed.

BP851 Figure with points (small white circles) can be smoothly deformed within the 2D plane without passing through itself so that all points touch to make the other figure vs. not so (movement out of the plane required).

BP905 Graph can be redrawn such that no edges intersect vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

A graph is a collection of vertices and edges. Vertices are the dots and edges are the lines that connect the dots. On the left, all edges can be redrawn (curved lines are allowed and moving vertices is allowed) such that no edges cross each other and each vertex is still connected to the same other vertices. These graphs are called planar.
