For classical knots, there is a concept of (semi) meander diagrams; in this short note we generalize this concept to virtual knots and prove that the classes of meander and semimeander diagrams are universal (this was known for classical knots). We also introduce a new class of invariants for virtual knots -- virtual k-arc crossing numbers.
Belousov et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
