Vassiliev invariants of type one for links in the solid torus

In Bataineh (2003) [2] we studied the type one invariants for knots in the solid torus. In this research we study the type one invariants for n-component links in the solid torus by generalizing Aicardiʹs invariant for knots in the solid torus to n-component links in the solid torus. We show that the generalized Aicardiʹs invariant is the universal type one invariant, and we show that the generalized Aicardiʹs invariant restricted to n-component links in the solid torus with zero winding number for each component is equal to an invariant we define using the universal cover of the solid torus. We also define and study a geometric invariant for n-component links in the solid torus. We give a lower bound on this invariant using the type one invariants, which are easy to calculate, which helps in computing this geometric invariant, which is usually hard to calculate.
