Abstract

Polynomial knot invariants can often be used to define Vassiliev invariants on singu- lar knots. Here Vassiliev invariants form the Conway, Jones, HOMFLY, and Kauffman polynomials are explored. Also, some explanation is given about how symbols of the Jones and Conway polynomial can evaluated on suitable chord diagrams. These in- variants are further used to find expressions that are congruent modulo 2 to some low degree invariants derived from the Primitive Conway polynomial.
