Abstract

It is shown that the number of alternating knots of given genus g>1 grows as a polynomial of degree 6g-4 in the crossing number. The leading coefficient of the polynomial, which depends on the parity of the crossing number, is related to planar trivalent graphs with a Bieulerian path. The rate of growth of the number of such graphs is estimated. © Springer-Verlag 2005.
