Part of the book series: CRM Series in Mathematical Physics ((CRM))

Abstract

We investigate various generalizations of meanders, that is, configurations of non-self-intersecting loops crossing a line through a given number of points. In all cases, we derive explicit formulas for corresponding meander determinants.
