An explicit formula for the $A$-polynomial of the knot with Conway's notation $C(2n,4)$

Abstract

An explicit formula for the $A$-polynomial of the knot having Conway's notation $C(2n,4)$ is computed up to repeated factors. Our polynomial contains exactly the same irreducible factors as the $A$-polynomial defined in~\cite{CCGLS1}.
