Explicit formulas for Vasil'ev invariants of the fourth order for knots (Q843534)

Some and conjecturally all Vassiliev invariants (or finite type invariants) of knots can be presented by arrow polynomials [\textit{M. Polyak} and \textit{O. Viro}, Int. Math. Res. Not. 11, 445--453 (1994; Zbl 0851.57010)]. The paper under review gives the arrow polynomial presentations for two Vassiliev invariants of knots of order 4. It is stated in the paper that these presentations were obtained through direct computations on the knot table. The author proves that they are invariant under the Reidemeister moves and therefore are knot invariants.
