Abstract

We give a basis for the space of the Vassiliev knot invariants of order 6, which implies a sixth order Vassiliev knot invariant is determined by its HOMFLY and Kauffman polynomials. Furthermore, we show that there is a seventh order invariant which cannot be obtained from these polynomials of a knot.
