Dowker–Thistlethwaite notation

Dowker–Thistlethwaite notation is a method used in knot theory to represent knots and links in a compact form. This notation encodes information about a knot's crossings and their order, facilitating the study of knot properties and transformations. In Dowker–Thistlethwaite notation, a knot is represented by a sequence of integers, which are derived from a specific way of traversing the knot diagram.
