Abstract
We address the concept of stick number for knots and links under various restrictions concerning the length of the sticks, the angles between sticks, and placements of the vertices. In particular, we focus on the effect of composition on the various stick numbers. Ultimately, we determine the traditional stick number for an infinite class of knots, which are the (n,n-1)-torus knots together with all of the possible compositions of such knots. The exact stick number was previously known for only seven knots.
