Abstract

A mathematical knot is an embedded circle in <TEX>${\mathbb{R}}^3$</TEX>. A fundamental problem in knot theory is classifying knots up to its numbers of crossing points. Knots are often distinguished by using a knot invariant, a quantity which is the same for equivalent knots. Knot polynomials are one of well known knot invariants. In 2006, J. Przytycki showed the effects of a n - move (a local change in a knot diagram) on several knot polynomials. In this paper, the authors review about knot polynomials, especially Jones polynomial, and give an alternative proof to a part of the Przytychi's result for the case n = 3 on the Jones polynomial.
