Generalized Cochran sequence and a factorization of the Conway polynomial

For a 2-component algebraically split link L, T.D. Cochran introduced a nortion ``derivative" of L and defined a sequence of link invariants. Then he showed that his sequence is equivarent to eta-function of L defined by S. Kojima and M. Yamasaki. We generalize these notions and results to a 3-component link L = K0 U J1 U J_2 with lk(Ji, K0)=0 (i=1, 2).
