The Kauffman polynomial $F(K)(a,z)$ (see [Kauffman]) of a knot or link $K$ is $a^{-w(K)}L(K)$ where $w(L)$ is the writhe of $K$ (see How is the Jones Polynomial Computed?) and where $L(K)$ is the regular isotopy invariant defined by the skein relations

$L(s_{)}=aL(s),\qquad L(s_{-})=a^{-1}L(s)$

(here $s$ is a strand and $s_{\pm }$ is the same strand with a $\pm$ kink added) and

Failed to parse (unknown function "\backoverslash"): {\displaystyle L(\backoverslash) L(\slashoverback) = z\left(L(\smoothing) L(\hsmoothing)\right)}

and by the initial condition $L(U)=1$ where $U$ is the unknot .

KnotTheory` knows about the Kauffman polynomial:

(For In[1] see Setup)

In[2]:= ?Kauffman Kauffman[K][a, z] computes the Kauffman polynomial of a knot or link K, in the variables a and z.

In[3]:= Kauffman::about The Kauffman program was written by Scott Morrison.

Thus, for example, here's the Kauffman polynomial of the knot 5_2:

In[4]:=	Kauffman[Knot[5, 2]][a, z]
Out[4]=	2 4 6 5 7 2 2 4 2 6 2 3 3 -a a a - 2 a z - 2 a z a z - a z - 2 a z a z 5 3 7 3 4 4 6 4 2 a z a z a z a z

5_2

T(8,3)

It is well known that the Jones polynomial is related to the Kauffman polynomial via

$J(L)(q)=(-1)^{c}L(K)(-q^{-3/4},\,q^{1/4}q^{-1/4})$,

where $K$ is some knot or link and where $c$ is the number of components of $K$. Let us verify this fact for the torus knot T(8,3):

In[5]:=

K = TorusKnot[8, 3];

In[6]:=	Simplify[{ (-1)^(Length[Skeleton[K]]-1)Kauffman[K][-q^(-3/4), q^(1/4) q^(-1/4)], Jones[K][q] }]
Out[6]=	7 9 16 7 9 16 {q q - q , q q - q }
