Approximating Jones coefficients and other link invariants by Vassiliev invariants. journal of knot theory and its ramifications (original) (raw)
Abstract
We find approximations by Vassiliev invariants for the coefficients of the Jones polynomial and all specializations of the HOMFLY and Kauffman polynomials. Consequently, we obtain approximations of some other link invariants arising from the homology of branched covers of links.
