%0 Journal Article %T Complexity of planar and spherical curves %A Tahl Nowik %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X 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. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0802.3021v1
