Possible tile numbers for space-efficient 7-mosaics with no empty rows or columns
Possible tile numbers for space-efficient 7-mosaics with no empty rows or columns
Let be a prime knot and let a space-efficient 7-mosaic of be a 7-mosaic whose tile number is minimal among mosaics of . Suppose that every column or every row of the mosaic is occupied. Possible tile-number conjecture. The tile number of the mosaic can only be one of
This restricts the tile numbers that can occur for the specified class of prime-knot 7-mosaics; the source provides no resolution status or further context for whether all listed values occur.
