Abstract

We consider 2-tangle replacements of link diagrams, i.e. replacing a crossing of a link diagram D with a 2-tangle diagram T. We show that if D and T are adequate then the 2-tangle replacement, denoted by DT, is also adequate. This gives a way to obtain infinitely many new minimal crossing diagrams.
