Abstract

Flat plumbing basket surfaces of links were introduced to study the geometry of the complement of the links. In present article, we study links of the flat plumbing basket numbers $4$ or less using a special presentation of the flat plumbing basket surfaces. We find a complete classification theorem of links of the flat plumbing basket numbers $4$ or less.
