The 2n diagrams attain the upper bound on unknots
The 2n diagrams attain the upper bound on unknots
A free knot is the free knot diagram referred to in the source, with crossings. A minimal free knot diagram is one with the minimum crossing number for its knot. -unknot upper-bound conjecture. The free knots realize the upper bound on unknots for minimal free knot diagrams with crossings. The source derives the resultant unknot probabilities for this family and uses them to motivate the proposed extremal bound; the conjecture itself is not proved in the supplied text.
