IdentifyWithin[L,H] returns those elements from the list of knots , whose invariant matches that of the knot . It can also recognize mirrors and connected sums of the knots in the list. Its options include turning off (on) the search for connected sums with ConnectedSum->False (True) and choosing the invariants to be used in identification by selecting, for example, Invariants->{Jones[#][q]&, HOMFLYPT[#][a,z]&}. IdentifyWithin can be used together with SubLink to determine the components of a link. For the second component of link L11n150, for instance, we get:
