Genus non-increasing totally positive unknotting number
Abstract
The genus non-increasing totally positive unknotting number is the minimum number of crossing changes that transform a knot into the unknot, such that all the crossing changes are positive-to-negative crossing changes that do not increase the genus. We show that the genus non-increasing totally positive unknotting number can be arbitrary large for genus one knots.
