    • 1989, Michael S. Waterman, Mathematical methods for DNA sequences:
      If multiloops are to be treated as interior loops, then the use of a linear rule as an approximation will penalize larger multiloops more than the logarithmically increasing interior loop energies would.
  2. (physics) A disconnected Wilson loop.
    • 2021, Michio Kaku, The God Equation:
      Also, it is not clear if the scattering of multiloops in this formalism is truly finite.
