A formula in the theory of finite type invariants

N. Askitas

Published 1999-04-26, updated 1999-04-28Version 2

A formula for the difference of Vassiliev invariants of degree k+1 of two knots all of whose Vassiliev invariants of degree k agree is proven. The proof uses K. Habiro's C-moves and his theorem which relates them to Vassiliev invariants.
