## Abstract It is shown that the determination of a unique scaling parameter, based on scale‐invariant forms for energy in the scaled zero‐order Hamiltonian approach of Feenberg, is not possible because the higher‐order invariants themselves are nonunique.

We prove that all finite type invariants of ribbon 2-knots are polynomials of the coefficients of the power series expansions at t = 1 of the normalized Alexander polynomials. We completely determine the structure of the algebra of finite type invariants of ribbon 2-knots.
