UNKNOTTING NUMBERS OF DIAGRAMS OF A GIVEN NONTRIVIAL KNOT ARE UNBOUNDED
We show that for any nontrivial knot K and any natural number n, there is a diagram D of K such that the unknotting number of D is greater than or equal to n. It is well-known that twice the unknotting number of K is less than or equal to …
