Compositions and decompositions
Akio Kawauchi · Birkhäuser Basel eBooks · 1996
In this chapter, we discuss how to construct a new link from given links by various compositions. Then we discuss decompositions, which are the inverse operations of compositions. After that, compositions of tangles are discussed. Throughout this chapter, links are understood to be links in S 3 . These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
