Incoherent nullification of torus knots and links

Abstract

In the paper, we study the incoherent nullification number [Formula: see text] of knots and links. We establish an upper bound on the incoherent nullification number of torus knots and links and conjecture that this upper bound is the actual incoherent nullification number of this family. Finally, we establish the actual incoherent nullification number of particular subfamilies of torus knots and links.
