Abstract: The weak splitting number $wsp(L)$ of a link $L$ is the minimal number of crossing changes needed to turn $L$ into a split union of knots. We describe conditions under which certain $mathbbR$-valued link invariants give lower bounds on $wsp(L)$. This result is used both to obtain new bounds on $wsp(L)$ in terms of the multivariable signature and to recover known lower bounds in terms of the $au$ and $s$-invariants. We also establish new obstructions using link Floer homology and apply all these methods to compute $wsp$ for all but two of the $130$ prime links with $9$ or fewer crossings.
