Abstract

The paper is devoted to a line of the knot theory related to the conjecture on the additivity of the crossing number for knots under connected sum. A series of weak versions of this conjecture are proved. Many of these versions are formulated in terms of the band surgery graph also called the H ( 2 ) H(2) -Gordian graph.
