Examples of properties we address in this paper are: a two component link with lk(A,L) = k2^r, k not 0, a non-split n-component link where all linking numbers are even, or an n-component link with components L, A_i where lk(L,A_i) = 3k, k not 0. Links with other properties are considered as well. For a given property, we prove that every embedding of a certain complete graph contains a link with that property. The size of the complete graph is determined by the property in question.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-11-05T16:01:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M15", "57M25", "05C10" ], "keywords": [ "linking number", "complete graph contains", "non-split n-component link", "study intrinsically linked graphs", "non-split link" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
