Abstract: Lomonaco and Kauffman introduced a knot mosaic system to give a precise and workable definition of a quantum knot system, the states of which are called quantum knots. This paper is inspired by an open question about the knot mosaic enumeration suggested by them. A knot n--mosaic is an nimesn array of 11 mosaic tiles representing a knot or a link diagram by adjoining properly that is called suitably connected. The total number of knot n--mosaics is denoted by Dn which is known to grow in a quadratic exponential rate. In this paper, we show the existence of the knot mosaic constant delta=limnightarrowinftyDnfrac1n2 and prove that 4 leq delta leq frac{5+ sqrt{13}}{2} (approx 4.303).
