I know some properties of this unwinding number, but only with respect to a very concrete algorithm I've been looking at. However, I don't know of any natural/geometric properties for this definition. My hope was that someone familiar with geometry/topology would see a resemblance between this definition and some other more natural/well-known definition in the literature. | |
