Abstract
This paper introduces three kinds of operators on planar graphs with binary weights on edges, for which combinatorial invariants on two kinds of equivalences are found. Further, it is shown that the Jones polynomial and the bracket polynomial which are proved to be new topological invariants on knots in topology become special cases. Moreover, these invariants are a kind of generalization of Tutte polynomial on graphs.
