A polynomial invariant of virtual knots
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to introduce a polynomial invariant fK(t) for virtual knots. We show that fK(t) can be used to distinguish some virtual knot from its inverse and mirror image. The behavior of fK(t) under connected sum is also given. Finally we discuss which kind of polynomial can be realized as fK(t) for some virtual knot K.
