We extended their construction to the four-parameter family F of the form 6*-a.-b.t1 x 0.b.a.t2 y 0, where are a, b are fixed positive integers, t1 and t2 are arbitrary fixed tangles, x, y are integers, and const is a constant. This family has the following properties:

  1. all KLs from F are Alexander- and Conway-undetectable for every x, y satisfying the condition x=y (mod 2);
  2. all KLs from F are Jones- and Khovanov-undetectable for every x, y satisfying the condition |x-y|=const, where const is an even constant;
  3. all KLs from F are HOMFLYPT-, A2-, and Links-Guld-undetectable for every pair of even numbers x, y satisfying the condition |x-y|=const;
  4. all KLs from F are HOMFLYPT-, A2-, and Links-Guld-undetectable for every pair of odd numbers x, y satisfying the condition |x-y|=const.

All undetectable KLs obtained are Kauffman- and colored Jones-detectable. KLs obtained are achiral for t1=t2, and chiral otherwise.

The results are summarized in the following table:

Invariant (1) (2) (3) or (4)
Alexander - - -
Conway - - -
Jones + - -
Khovanov + - -
HOMFLYPT + + -
A2 + + -
Links-Gould + + -
Kauffman + + +
Colored Jones + + +

For example, for a=b=2, (x,y) Î {(2,6),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(5,5)} are obtained the following knots:

K1=6*-2.-2.2 0.2.2.6 0 K2=6*-2.-2.2 0.2.2.2 0
K3=6*-2.-2.3 0.2.2.3 0 K4=6*-2.-2.4 0.2.2.4 0
K5=6*-2.-2.5 0.2.2.5 0  



All of them are Alexander and Conway-undetectable; K1 can be recognized as different from the other four by all the other polynomials; K2 and K3, or K4 and K5 can be distinguished by HOMFLYPT, A2 or Links-Gould invariant, but they don't distinguish K2 from K4, or K3 from K5. All of them can be distinguished only by Kauffman, or colored Jones polynomial.
