Reduced Relative Tutte, Kauffman Bracket and Jones Polynomials of Virtual Link Families

Abstract

This paper contains general formulae for the reduced relative Tutte, Kauffman bracket and Jones polynomials of families of virtual knots and links given in Conway notation and discussion of a counterexample to the Z-move conjecture of Fenn, Kauffman and Manturov.
