Abstract

We obtain asymptotics for the average value taken by a Vassiliev invariant on knots appearing as periodic orbits of an Axiom A flow on S3.S^3. The methods used also give asymptotics for the writhe of periodic orbits. Our results are analogous to those of G. Contreras for average linking numbers.
