Abstract: Let

u be any integer-valued additive knot invariant that bounds the smooth 4-genus of a knot K, | u(K)| <= g_4(K), and determines the 4-ball genus of positive torus knots, u(T_{p,q}) = (p-1)(q-1)/2. Either of the knot concordance invariants of Ozsvath-Szabo or Rasmussen, suitably normalized, have these properties. Let D_{pm}(K,t) denote the positive or negative t-twisted double of K. We prove that if u(D_{+}(K,t)) = pm 1, then u(D_{-}(K,t)) = 0. It is also shown that u(D_{+}(K,t))= 1 for all t <= TB(K) and u(D_{+}(K, t)) = 0 for all t ge -TB(-K), where TB(K) denotes the Thurston-Bennequin number. A realization result is also presented: for any 2g imes 2g Seifert matrix A and integer a, |a| <= g, there is a knot with Seifert form A and

u(K) = a.
