Abstract
Dedicated to Professor Kazuaki Kobayashi for his 60th birthday. We show that the Vassiliev invariants of the knots contained in an embedding of a graph G into R 3 satisify certain equations that are independent of the choice of the embedding of G. By a similar observation we define certain edge-homotopy invariants andvertex-homotopy invariants of spatial graphs basedon the Vassiliev invariants of the knots containedin a spatial graph. A graph G is calledad aptable if, given a knot type for each cycle of G, there is an embedding of G into R 3 that realizes all of these knot types. As an application we show that a certain planar graph is not adaptable.
