Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the concept of the warping degree for twisted knots, construct an invariant for them, and utilize it to establish a labeling scheme for these knots, known as ``warping labeling". We have identified that a warping labeling can be extended to twisted virtual braids, enabling the creation of a function that remains invariant under all R-moves except the R2 move. By limiting the labeling set to , we can develop invariants for twisted virtual braids.
