Abstract
We find the minimal number of links in an embedding of any complete -partite graph on 7 vertices (including , which has at least 21 links). We give either exact values or upper and lower bounds for the minimal number of links for all complete -partite graphs on 8 vertices. We also look at larger complete bipartite graphs, and state a conjecture relating minimal linking embeddings with minimal book embeddings.
