    Abstract

    Quandles with involutions that satisfy certain conditions, called good
    involutions, can be used to color non-orientable surface-knots. We use
    subgroups of signed permutation matrices to construct non-trivial good
    involutions on extensions of odd order dihedral quandles.

    For the smallest example of order 6 that is an extension of the three-element
    dihedral quandle, various symmetric quandle homology groups are computed, and
    applications to the minimal triple point number of surface-knots are given.
