RNA matrix models with external interactions and their asymptotic behaviour

Biomolecules 2015-05-13 v1

Abstract

We study a matrix model of RNA in which an external perturbation acts on n nucleotides of the polymer chain. The effect of the perturbation appears in the exponential generating function of the partition function as a factor (1nαL)(1-\frac{n\alpha}{L}) [where α\alpha is the ratio of strengths of the original to the perturbed term and L is length of the chain]. The asymptotic behaviour of the genus distribution functions for the extended matrix model are analyzed numerically when (i) n=Ln=L and (ii) n=1n=1. In these matrix models of RNA, as nα/Ln\alpha/L is increased from 0 to 1, it is found that the universality of the number of diagrams aL,ga_{L, g} at a fixed length L and genus g changes from 3L3^{L} to (3nαL)L(3-\frac{n\alpha}{L})^{L} (2L2^{L} when nα/L=1n\alpha/L=1) and the asymptotic expression of the total number of diagrams N\cal N at a fixed length L but independent of genus g, changes in the factor expL\exp^{\sqrt{L}} to exp(1nαL)L\exp^{(1-\frac{n\alpha}{L})\sqrt{L}} (exp0=1exp^{0}=1 when nα/L=1n\alpha/L=1)
