The above data is available with the Mathematica package KnotTheory`, as shown in the (simulated) Mathematica session below. Your input (in red) is realistic; all else should have the same content as in a real mathematica session, but with different formatting. This Mathematica session is also available (albeit only for the knot 5_2) as the notebook PolynomialInvariantsSession.nb.

Khovanov Homology

The coefficients of the monomials [math]\displaystyle{ t^rq^j }[/math] are shown, along with their alternating sums [math]\displaystyle{ \chi }[/math] (fixed [math]\displaystyle{ j }[/math], alternation over [math]\displaystyle{ r }[/math]). The squares with yellow highlighting are those on the "critical diagonals", where [math]\displaystyle{ j-2r=s+1 }[/math] or [math]\displaystyle{ j-2r=s-1 }[/math], where [math]\displaystyle{ s= }[/math]20 is the signature of T(21,2). Nonzero entries off the critical diagonals (if any exist) are highlighted in red.
