Extract
Consider a knot K in a closed, oriented 3-manifold M. A genus g Heegaard decomposition of M is said to be a genus g bridge decomposition of K if it also decomposes K into trivial arcs in each handlebody. The genus g bridge number of K, denoted by bg(K), is defined as the minimal number of trivial arcs in a handlebody among all the genus g bridge decompositions of K [2, 13].
