Abstract: We introduce the warping polynomial of an oriented knot diagram. In this paper, we characterize the warping polynomial, and define the span of a knot to be the minimal span of the warping polynomial for all diagrams of the knot. We show that the span of a knot is one if and only if it is non-trivial and alternating, and we give an inequality between the span and the dealternating number.
