Abstract
Augmented alternating links are links obtained by adding trivial components that bound twice-punctured disks to nonsplit reduced non-–braid prime alternating projections. These links are known to be hyperbolic. Here, we extend to show that generalized augmented alternating links, which allow for new trivial components that bound –punctured disks, are also hyperbolic. As an application we consider generalized belted sums of links and compute their volumes.
