The Kauffman polynomial is an important invariant in knot theory, a branch of mathematics that studies the properties of knots. It was introduced by Louis Kauffman in the 1980s and serves as a polynomial invariant of oriented links in three-dimensional space. The Kauffman polynomial can be defined for a link diagram, which is a planar representation of a link with crossings marked.
