Kauffman polynomial

In knot theory, the Kauffman polynomial is a 2-variable knot polynomial due to Louis Kauffman. It is initially defined on a link diagram as where w is the writhe of the link diagram and L is a polynomial in a and z defined on link diagrams by the following properties: L = 1 . L = a L , L = a − 1 L . L is unchanged under type II and III Reidemeister moves. Here s is a strand and s r is the same strand with a right-handed curl added. Additionally L must satisfy Kauffman's skein relation: The pictu
