Results

Below is a summary of the results of the enumeration. Each entry counts the number of knots with up to some number of crossings, not exactly that number of crossings. The Reduced number is from treating mirror images and inverses as the same knot.

The full lists are available for up to 6 crossings, for oriented virtual knots, unoriented virtual knots, and the reduced form. The reduced form list has a extra column of data at the start, indicating the same information about mirror images and inverses as is contained on the web pages in this table.
