Relations between Kauffman and Homfly satellite invariants
H R Morton, N D A Ryder
We extend a mod 2 relation between the Kauffman and Homfly polynomials, first observed by Rudolph in 1987, to the general Kauffman and Homfly satellite invariants.

Invariants of genus 2 mutants
H. R. Morton, N. Ryder
Pairs of genus 2 mutant knots can have different Homfly polynomials, for example some 3-string satellites of Conway mutant pairs. We give examples which have different Kauffman 3-v…
