Abstract

We perform a numerical study of a new microcanonical polymer model on the three dimensional cubic lattice, consisting of ideal chains whose range and number of nearest-neighbor contacts are fixed to given values. Our simulations suggest an interesting exact relation concerning the internal energy per monomer of the Interacting Self-Avoiding Walk at the θ\theta-point.
