IdentifyWithin[L,H] returns those elements from the list of knots H, whose invariant matches that of the knot L. 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[L,H] returns those elements from the list of knots H, whose invariant matches that of the knot L. 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:

(For In[1] see Setup)

In[2]:= IdentifyWithin[SubLink[Link["L11n150"], 2], AllKnots[]]
Out[2]= {Knot[5, 2]}

Unfortunately, the program does not provide absolute identification when all the used invariants cannot distinguish between two or more different knots. In that case, a list of possible candidates for L is returned.
