Mosaic number conjecture for the knots and
Mosaic number conjecture for the knots and
For a positive integer , an -mosaic is an mosaic-tile board representing a link or knot, and the mosaic number of a knot is the smallest natural number for which it has a knot -mosaic. The knots and denote the standard six-crossing knots in knot tables. Mosaic number conjecture for and .
The claim concerns the unresolved determination of mosaic numbers for knots with at most ten crossings; the source gives no evidence of a resolution.
