摘要

Lomonaco and Kauffman [Quantum knots and mosaics, Quantum Inf. Process. 7(2-3) (2008) 85-115] introduced the notion of knot mosaics in their work on quantum knots. It is conjectured that knot mosaic type is a complete invariant of tame knots. In this paper, we answer a question of C. Adams by constructing an infinite family of knots whose mosaic number can be realized only when the crossing number is not. That is, there is an infinite family of non-minimal knots whose mosaic numbers are known.
