Splittings of tangles and spatial graphs
From MaRDI portal
\textit{W. Menasco} [Topology 23, 37--44 (1984; Zbl 0525.57003)] established that if a link has a reduced alternating diagram, then one can determine from such a diagram whether the link is split or composite. This result has been extended to other classes of links, as well as tangles and spatial graphs. The authors investigate this extension further and generalize Menasco's Theorem to larger classes of tangles and spatial graphs
