Abstract

A symmetric union of a knot is a generalization of the operation of the connected sum of a knot and its mirror image. In this paper, we show that every ribbon 2-knot of 1-fusion has a ribbon presentation associated with a symmetric union which has either the unknot or a 2-bridge knot as a partial knot.
