Minimal hard surface-unlink and classical unlink diagrams

Geometric Topology 2019-08-28 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We describe a method for generating minimal hard prime surface-link diagrams. We extend the known examples of minimal hard prime classical unknot and unlink diagrams up to three components and generate figures of all minimal hard prime surface-unknot and surface-unlink diagrams with prime base surface components up to ten crossings.
