title: Ideal trefoil knot.
abstract: A set of self-contact points of the most tight, parametrically tied trefoil knot is determined. The knot is subjected to further tightening procedure based on the shrink-on-no-overlaps algorithm. Changes in the structure of the set of the self-contact points are monitored and the final form of the set is determined.
