Dimensional Interpolation for Random Walk

Statistical Mechanics 2021-08-27 v1

Abstract

We employ a simple and accurate dimensional interpolation formula for the shapes of random walks at D=3D=3 and D=2D=2 based on the analytically known solutions at both limits D=D=\infty and D=1D=1. The results obtained for the radii of gyration of an arbitrary shaped object are about 2%2\% error compared with accurate numerical results at D=3D = 3 and D=2D = 2. We also calculated the asphericity for a three-dimensional random walk using the dimensional interpolation formula. Result agrees very well with the numerically simulated result. The method is general and can be used to estimate other properties of random walks.
