A bracket weight system is constructed. Three of its applications are given. The first is an observation of some special properties of HOMFLY and Kauffman polynomials. The second is an observation of an infinite set of nontrivial combinatorial identities. The third is a dimension formula and the co

We give an explicit algorithm for computing all of Vassiliev's knot invariants of order < n, which has been implemented on a computer. In giving a justification of the algorithm, we obtain a simple proof of the sufficiency of the topological l-term and 4-term relations. We use an example of Taniyama
By the theory of Vassiliev invariants, the knowledge of a certain algebra B, defined as generated by graphs, is essentially as good as the knowledge of the space of Vassiliev invariants. We will prove that the subspace B c 2, u of B generated by all connected diagrams with 4+2u vertices, including u
