Jan 27, 2011 at 14:45 | comment | added | Jeffε | Haken gave the first algorithm, but it does not run in polynomial time; in fact, no poly-time algorithm (or NP-hardness result) is known. More recent work has reduced knot triviality (via Haken's normal-surface formulation) to integer programming, which is usually quick to solve in practice. | |
