The unknotting-number conjecture for the family
The unknotting-number conjecture for the family
For each integer , let be the knot represented by the positive diagram in the paper's infinite family. The family unknotting-number conjecture.
The preceding proposition proves only the bounds . Thus the conjecture would determine the exact unknotting number for every knot in this family and extend the proposed counterexample at .
