From Conway Notation to LinKnot
Slavik Vlado Jablan, Radmila Sazdanović · Contemporary mathematics - American Mathematical Society · 2016
In 1967 J. H. Conway introduced a novel notation for knots and links. This notation allows for classification of knots and links into families which have various properties in common. We explore relations between parameters in Conway symbols and various knot and link invariants and provide a few conjecture based on computations by the software package “LinKnot”. In the spirit of A. Caudron’s work, this approach is more natural than classification according to minimal crossing number.
