摘要
A state of a virtual knot diagram D is a disjoint union of circles obtained from D by splicing all real crossings. For each positive integer n, we denote by s(n)(D) the number of states of D consisting of n circles. The first aim of this paper is to characterize the virtual knot diagrams with s(3)(D) = 0 in terms of their Gauss diagrams. The 3-state number of a virtual knot K is defined to be the minimal number of s(3)(D) among all possible diagrams D for K. The second aim of this paper is to study several properties of the virtual knots with s(3)(K) = 0. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
