Abstract

We explicitly derive diagrams representing (1,1)-decompositions of rational pretzel knots $K_{\beta}=M((-2,\;1),\;(3,\;1),\;({\mid}6{\beta}+1{\mid},{\beta}))$ from four unknotting tunnels for ${\beta}=1,\;-2$ and 2.

Keywords

rational pretzel knots;(1,1)-decompositions;handle slidings;Heegaard diagrams;unknotting tunnels
