plural superslices

1. mathematicsA knot for which there is an almost identical trivial knot.

   The Kinoshita-Terasaka knot K_(KT), illustrated in Fig. 1 is the first example of a superslice, which has been know at latest in 1970 by R.H. Fox, F. Hosokawa, T. Yangawa and others.

2. computingA slice that is an amalgamation of smaller slices.

   These transformations occur only if all bit slices within a superslice have identical context (e.g., all bit slice input ports a within a superslice have the constant value 0 applied from the outside). Otherwise, the superslice is left unchanged.

1. not comparablemathematicsHaving the property of being a superslice.

   Answering a question of Livingston-Meier, we find smoothly slice (in fact doubly slice) knots in the 3-sphere with Alexander polynomial equal to 1 that are not smoothly superslice..
