A \(n\)-component link \(L=(L_1,\dots,L_n)\) is said to be proper if for each component \(L_i\) the linking number \(lk(L_i,L-L_i)\) is even. For such a link one can define the Arf invariant, e.g. by using a proper quadratic form on the modulo \(2\) homology of a Seifert surface. Various formulas for the Arf invariant are given, with specific considerations in the case of an algebraically split link (resp. of a \(Z_2\) algebraically split link).
