A knot property, also called the twist number, defined as the sum of crossings of a link ,
(1) |
where defined to be if the overpass slants from top left to bottom right or bottom left to top right and is the set of crossings of an oriented link.
The writhe of a minimal knot diagram is not a knot invariant, as exemplified by the Perko pair, which have differing writhes (Hoste et al. 1998). This is because while the writhe is invariant under Reidemeister moves II and III, it may increase or decrease by one for a Reidemeister move of type I (Adams 1994, p. 153).
Thistlethwaite (1988) proved that if the writhe of a reduced alternating projection of a knot is not 0, then the knot is not amphichiral (Adams 1994).
A formula for the writhe is given by

where is parameterized by for along the length of the knot by parameter , and the frame associated with is

where is a small parameter, is a unit vector field normal to the curve at , and the vector field is given by

(Kaul 1999).
Letting Lk be the linking number of the two components of a ribbon, Tw be the twist, and Wr be the writhe, then the Calugareanu theorem states that
