Then the polynomials (1 ¡é ¡¯x) ¡±(x,y) and (1 ¡é ¡¯y) ¡±(x,y) are alternating. That is, (1 ¡é ¡¯y) ¡±(x,y) can be written as ¡é ¡®i,jcijxiyj in such a way that ( ¡é ¡¯1)i+jcij ¡é ¡ë £¤0. %K alternating link projection %K Alexander matrix and polynomial %K adjacency matrix %K rooted tree. %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/S0161171279000211
