Abstract

In the paper we introduce a general approach how for a given virtual biquandle multi-switch (S,V)(S,V) on an algebraic system XX (from some category) and a given virtual link LL construct an algebraic system XS,V(L)X_{S,V}(L) (from the same category) which is an invariant of LL. As a corollary we introduce a new quandle invariant for virtual links which generalizes previously known quandle invariants for virtual links.
