An algorithm that produces polygonal cable links is described, and applications discussed. In particular, the stick numbers of Tp,q torus links are shown to be 4p for 2p < q ≤ 3p, and it is shown that, in general, [Formula: see text]. Further, it is shown that the Ramsey number of a link is at least the sum of its arc index and bridge number. Using these results, we relate the Ramsey, stick and crossing numbers of torus links, showing [Formula: see text].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
