On the Triviality Index of Knots
On the Triviality Index of Knots
In [6] the first author derived a new numerical invariant, denoted by $0(K)$ , of knots from their diagrams and showed that if the Conway polynomial of a knot $K$ is not one, then $0(K)$ is finite ([6] Corollary 2.4). In this paper, we call $0(K)$ the triviality index of …
