Prime Link
A prime link is a link that cannot be represented as a knot sum of other links. Doll and Hoste (1991) list polynomials for oriented links of nine or fewer crossings, and Rolfsen (1976) gives a table of links with small numbers of components and crossings.
The following table summarizes the number of distinct prime 
-components links having specified crossing numbers. The

The following table lists some named links. The notation and ordering follows that of Rolfsen (1976), where 
denotes the 
th 
-component link with crossing number 
.
