Abstract

Using a new string representation, we develop two algorithms for generating nonisomorphic chord diagrams. Experimental evidence indicates that the latter of the two algorithms runs in constant amortized time. In addition, we use simple counting techniques to derive a formula for the number of nonisomorphic chord diagrams.
