We define the Wirtinger width of a knot. Then we prove the Wirtinger width of a knot equals its Gabai width. The algorithmic nature of the Wirtinger width leads to an efficient technique for establishing upper bounds on Gabai width. As an application, we use this technique to calculate the Gabai width of approximately …
