Bounding Crossing Number in Rectangular and Hexagonal Knot Mosaics

Geometric Topology 2024-10-28 v1

Abstract

Howards and Kobin give a sharp upper bound for crossing number of knots on rectangular mosaics. Here we extend the proof to create a new bound for hexagonal mosaics in all three natural settings and shorten the proof in the rectangular setting.
