components_link

Link components represent distinct closed loops in a link diagram. For example, a trefoil knot has one component, while the Hopf link has two.

Functions

link_components_endpoints(k)	Return a list of sets of endpoints belonging to the same link component.
number_of_link_components(k)	Return the number of link components in a planar diagram.
