Abstract
Gusarov and Habiro introduced a C m move, that is strongly related to Vassiliev invariants. In this note, we study a special kind of C m move, called a non-self C m move. We show that two links can be transformed into each other by a finite sequence of non-self C m moves if and only if (1) the two links can be transformed into each other by a finite sequence of C m moves, and (2) the knot types of corresponding components coincide.
