A Note on Generic Tangle Algorithms

Abstract

In this note we gather the theoretical outlines of three basic algorithms for tangles in abstract separation systems: a naive tree search for finding tangles; an algorithm which outputs a certificate for the non-existence of tangles if possible, and otherwise a way to jump-start the naive tree search; and a way to obtain a tree-of-tangles.
