The Kauffman Polynomials of 2-bridge Knots

Bin Lu, Jianyuan K. Zhong

Published 2006-06-05Version 1

The 2-bridge knots are a family of knots with bridge number 2. In this paper, we compute the Kauffman polynomials of 2-bridge knots using the Kauffman skein theory and linear algebra techniques. Our calculation can be easily carried out using Mathematica, Maple, Mathcad, etc.
