Morton-Franks-Williams Inequality
Let 
be the largest and 
the smallest Power of 
in the HOMFLY Polynomial of an oriented Link,and 
be the Braid Index. Then the Morton-Franks-Williams Inequality holds,
(Franks and Williams 1985, Morton 1985). The inequality is sharp for all Prime Knots up to 10crossings with the exceptions of 09-042, 09-049, 10-132, 10-150, and10-156.See also Braid Index
