Abstract
We examine numerically the distribution function of distance between opposite polygonal nodes for random polygons of nodes with a fixed knot type . Here we consider three knots such as , and . In a wide range of , the shape of is well fitted by the scaling form of self-avoiding walks. The fit yields the Gaussian exponents and . Furthermore, if we re-scale the intersegment distance by the average size of random polygons of knot , the distribution function of the variable should become the same Gaussian distribution for any large value of and any knot . We also introduce a fitting formula to the distribution of gyration radius for random polygons under some topological constraint .
