Abstract
We call smoothing a self-crossing point of an oriented link diagram self-smoothing. By self-smoothing repeatedly, we obtain an oriented link diagram without self-crossing points. In this paper, we show that every knot has an oriented diagram which becomes a two-component oriented link diagram without self-crossing points by a single self-smoothing.
