Abstract

We introduce two sequences of two-variable polynomials {LKn(t,)}n=1\{ L^n_K (t, \ell)\}_{n=1}^{\infty} and {FKn(t,)}n=1\{ F^n_K (t, \ell)\}_{n=1}^{\infty}, expressed in terms of index value of a crossing and nn-dwrithe value of a virtual knot KK, where tt and \ell are variables. Basing on the fact that nn-dwrithe is a flat virtual knot invariant we prove that LKnL^n_K and FKnF^n_K are virtual knot invariants containing Kauffman affine index polynomial as a particular case. Using LKnL^n_K we give sufficient conditions when virtual knot does not admit cosmetic crossing change.
