The tunnel numbers of all 11- and 12-crossing alternating knots

Felipe Castellano-Macías and Nicholas Owad

Vol. 15 (2022), No. 1, 75–88
Abstract

Using exhaustive techniques and results from Lackenby and many others, we compute the tunnel numbers of all 1655 alternating 11- and 12-crossing knots and of 881 nonalternating 11- and 12-crossing knots. We also find all 5525 Montesinos knots with 14 or fewer crossings.
