Abstract
Satoh and Taniguchi introduced the n-writhe Jn for each non-zero integer n, which is an integer invariant for virtual knots. The sequence of n-writhes {Jn}n≠0 of a virtual knot K satisfies ∑n≠0 nJn(K) = 0. They showed that for any sequence of integers {cn}n≠0 with ∑n≠0 ncn = 0, there exists a virtual knot K with Jn(K) = cn for any n ≠ 0. It is obvious that the virtualization of a real crossing is an unknotting operation for virtual knots. The unknotting number by the virtualization is called the virtual unknotting number and is denoted by uv. In this paper, we show that if {cn}n≠0 is a sequence of integers with ∑n≠0 ncn = 0, then there exists a virtual knot K such that uv(K) = 1 and Jn(K) = cn for any n ≠ 0.
