Abstract
We introduce the Schubert form a -bridge link diagram, as a generalization of the Schubert normal form of a -bridge link. It consists of a set of six positive integers, written as , with some conditions and it is based on the concept of -butterfly. Using the Schubert normal form of a -bridge link diagram, we give two presentations of the 3-bridge link group. These presentations are given by concrete formulas that depend on the integers The construction is a generalization of the form the link group presentation of the -bridge link depends on the integers and .
