2-bridge knot
text:
In the mathematical field of knot theory, a 2-bridge knot is a knot which can be regular isotoped so that the natural height function given by the z-coordinate has only two maxima and two minima as critical points. Equivalently, these are the knots with bridge number 2, the smallest possible bridge number for a nontrivial knot. Other names for 2-bridge knots are rational knots, 4-plats, and Viergeflechte. 2-bridge links are defined similarly as above, but each component will have one min and max
