Abstract
The Turaev genus and dealternating number of a link are two invariants that measure how far away a link is from alternating. We determine the Turaev genus of a torus knot with five or fewer strands either exactly or up to an error of at most one. We also determine the dealternating number of a torus knot with five or fewer strands up to an error of at most two. We also give bounds on the Turaev genus and dealternating number of torus links with five or fewer strands and on some infinite families of torus links on six strands.
