Summary: 

Each knot invariant can be extended to singular knots according to the skein rule. A Vassiliev invariant of order at most n is defined as a knot invariant that vanishes identically on knots with more than n double points. A chord diagram encodes the order of double points along a singular knot. A Vassiliev invariant of order n gives rise to a function on chord diagrams with n chords. Such a function should satisfy some conditions in order to come from a Vassiliev invariant. A weight system is a function on chord diagrams that satisfies the so-called 4-term relations. Given a Lie algebra g equipped with a nondegenerate invariant bilinear form, one can construct a weight system with values in the center of the universal enveloping algebra U(g). In this paper, we calculate sl3 weight system for chord diagram whose intersection graph is complete bipartite graph K2,n.
