Necessary and sufficient condition for self delta-equivalence in multi-component links
Calculation of Conway polynomial values for pretzel links
Abstract
In this paper, we study the self delta-equivalence of pretzel links. If the number of components is 2, then we know the complete invariants in terms of the Conway polynomial for classification. We calculate the values. For pretzel links with more than or equal to 3 components, we give a necessary and sufficient condition to be self delta-equivalent.
