Computing with knot quandles. (English) Zbl 1405.57012
This paper extends quandle coloring invariants in a new direction, applying them to confirm the distinctness of the 801 prime knot types through 11 crossings (first established in this reviewer’s Orsay Prepublication 80 T 18 “Invariants of 11-crossing knots”).

This reference list is based on information provided by the publisher or from digital mathematics libraries. Its items are heuristically matched to zbMATH identifiers and may contain data conversion errors. In some cases that data have been complemented/enhanced by data from zbMATH Open. This attempts to reflect the references listed in the original paper as accurately as possible without claiming completeness or a perfect matching.
