In this work, we find a closed form formula for the braid index of an [Formula: see text]-bridge braid, a class of positive braid knots which simultaneously generalizes torus knots, 1-bridge braids, and twisted torus knots. Our proof is elementary, effective, and self-contained, and partially recovers work of Birman–Kofman. Along the way, we show that the disparate definitions of twisted torus knots in the literature agree.more » « less
