If sigma(K) and u(K) denote the signature and the unknotting number of the knot K, respectively, then 0 <= (1/2)*abs(sigma(K)) <= u(K). If one can empirically find an unknotting number u*(K) = (1/2)*abs(sigma(K)), then it is its exact value. %C A318051 Row n is a partition of A002863(n). %D A318051 P. R.
