We investigate global equilibria of twisted, isotropic elastic rings. The h
igh degree of symmetry in the problem leads to nonisolated solutions. We pr
ove that all solutions are flip-symmetric, and from this we can globally is
olate ail solution branches. We derive possible other choices for boundary
conditions systematically and show that other conditions necessarily lead t
o spurious solutions. We show global computations performed by the Parallel
Simplex Algorithm.
