Abstract

A multi-variable polynomial invariant for knotoids and linkoids, which is an enhancement of the bracket polynomial for knotoids introduced by Turaev, is given by using the concept of a pole diagram which originates in constructing a virtual link invariant. Several features of the polynomial are revealed.
