The $CWR$ invariant is an array of two-variable polynomials that provides a stronger invariant compared to the $WRP$ invariant. We compare the strength of our invariant with the classical HOMFLYPT, Kauffman $3$-variable, and Kauffman $2$-variable polynomials on specific knot examples. Additionally, we derive general recursive \"skein\" relations, and also specific formulas for the initial components of the $CWR$ invariant ($CWR_2$ and $CWR_3$) using weighted adjacency matrices of modified Tait graphs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-06-07T14:53:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "alternating links", "cwr sequence", "properties", "specific knot examples", "stronger invariant" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
