In 1984, Jones [12] discovered a polynomial invariant of the isotopy type of an oriented knot or link in a 3-sphere from a representation of the braid group into certain finite dimensional von Neumann algebras. The Jones polynomial is also calculated by a recursive formula involving changing crossings in a projection of the knot or link until the unlink is obtained. Since then, some new polynomial invariants have been discovered. Generalizing Jones' method directly or using a recursive formula, Freyd et al.[7], and Przytycki and Traczyk [26] discovered at almost the same time independently a 2-variable Laurent polynomial invariant of the isotopy type of an oriented knot or link. This 2-variable Jones polynomial specializes to both the Jones and the classical reduced Alexander polynomials. The latter is also produced by the many valuable Alexander polynomial of a link. Adopting a more general recursive formula, Brandt et al.[2] and Ho [10] discovered a polynomial invariant of an unoriented knot or link, which is called the Q or absolute polynomial, see Sect. 2. And most recently Kauffman [15] discovered a 2-variable polynomial invariant which specializes to both the Jones polynomial and the Q polynomial [17]. The purpose of this paper is to consider the difference and the similarity of these polynomial invariants except for the Kauffman polynomial through several examples.The 2-variable Jones polynomial, and therefore, the Jones and the reduced Alexander polynomials are skein invariant, see Sect. 1, but not the Q polynomial. In Sect. 4, we consider a family of ribbon knots K (a, b), which is a generalization of the family of knots given by the author in [14]. This family can be completely classified up to skein equivalence by either the 2-variable Jones polynomial or the Jones and the Alexander polynomials. Each of the skein equivalent class contains infinitely many knots, and especially the knots K (a+ 1,-a), a= 0, 1, 2,..., which are all skein equivalent, are completely classified by the Q polynomial (Theorem 3). The V~ formula for the Jones polynomial (Corollaries 1.1 or 1.2) devised by Jones and Birman, is a special (or weak, in a sense) point compared with the reduced Alexander polynomial. In Sect. 5, using this formula, we give an example of
