Abstract
This paper defines a new invariant of virtual knots and flat virtual knots. We study this invariant in two forms: the extended bracket invariant and the arrow polyomial. The extended bracket polynomial takes the form of a sum of virtual graphs with polynomial coefficients. The arrow polynomial is a polynomial with a finite number of variables for any given virtual knot or link. We show how the extended bracket polynomial can be used to detect non-classicality and to estimate virtual crossing number and genus for virtual knots and links.
