Abstract
For algebraic two-component links we provide three complete characterizations for the boundedness from below: one in terms of the Alexander polynomial, one in terms of the embedded resolution graph, and one in terms of the so-called h-function introduced by the authors in [9]. It turns out that LS is bounded from below for most algebraic links. If it is unbounded from below, it must contain a negative half-line parallel to one of the axes. We also give a sufficient condition for boundedness for arbitrary L-space links.
