| Research Abstract |
We have never found any formula to determine the minimum number of crossing changes needed to unknot any given knot. In this research, we estimate this minimum number via a diagram of the knot, more strictly than known results. Essentially, we estimate the four-genus, the Rasmussen invariant, and Ozsvath and Szabo's invariant.
