The 2m diagrams attain the lower trefoil and upper unknot bounds
Let a free diagram denote the free closure of the -tangle referred to in the source. A free diagram with crossings is considered sufficiently complicated as in the source. -diagram bound conjecture. The free diagram realizes the lower bound on trefoils and the upper bound on unknots for all sufficiently complicated free diagrams with crossings. The claim is one of the source's computationally motivated proposed bounds; the source gives no proof or resolution.
