A characterization of almost alternating knot

Abstract

Generalizing Howie and Greene's characterization of alternating knots, we give a topological characterization of almost alternating knots.

10 pages, 9 Figures: Characterization is slightly changed so that its geometric condition is clear, and added more explanations
