##### Abstract

Ozsváth, Stipsicz and Szabó have defined a knot concordance invariant ${\Upsilon }_{K}$ taking values in the group of piecewise linear functions on the closed interval $\left[0,2\right]$. This paper presents a description of one approach to defining ${\Upsilon }_{K}$ and proving its basic properties.
