Locally Minimal Bridge Presentations of Knots
Chad Musick
For classical knots, many characteristics are difficult to determine from arbitrary diagrams of the knot. Bridge number is of this type. It is possible to have a bridge presentatio…
Minimal bridge projections for 11-crossing prime knots
Chad Musick
We give the bridge indices for 11-crossing prime knots and give a minimal bridge projection for each of these knots. The results on the indices may be easily summarized: all of the…
A method of encoding generalized link diagrams
Chad Musick
We describe a method of encoding various types of link diagrams, including those with classical, flat, rigid, welded, and virtual crossings. We show that this method may be used to…
Recognizing trivial links in polynomial time
Chad Musick
Trivial links are unique up to number of link components, but they can be hard to recognize from arbitrary diagrams. We define a new measure of the complexity of a link embedding,…
