Satoh and Taniguchi introduced the [Formula: see text]-writhe [Formula: see text] for each non-zero integer [Formula: see text], which is an invariant for virtual knots. The [Formula: see text]-writhes give the coefficients of some polynomial inva...

We consider a local move, denoted by., on knot diagrams or virtual knot diagrams. If two (virtual) knots K-1 and K-2 are transformed into each other by a finite sequence of lambda moves, the lambda distance between K-1 and K-2 is the minimum numbe...

A local move called a C-n-move is closely related to Vassiliev invariants. The C-n-distance between two knots K and L, denoted by d(Cn) (K, L), is the minimal number of C-n-moves needed to transform K into L. In the case of n >= 3, we show that...

Adams et al. introduce the notion of almost alternating links; non-alternating links which have a projection whose one crossing change yields an alternating projection. For an alternating knot K, we consider the number Alm(K) of almost alternating...

After the works of Kauffman-Banchoff and Yamasaki, it is known that a local move called the pass move is strongly related to the Arf invariant, which is equivalent to the parity of the coefficient of the degree two term in the Conway polynomial. O...

It is shown that two knots can be transformed into each other by C-n-moves if and only if they have the same Vassiliev invariants of order less than n. Consequently, a C-n-move cannot change the Vassiliev invariants of order less than n and may ch...
