Trails (bond-avoiding walks) provide an alternative lattice model of polymers to self-avoiding walks, and adding self-interaction at multiply visited sites gives a model of polymer collapse. Recently, a two-dimensional model (triangular…

We consider a lattice polymer model (random walk), in which the walk is allowed to visit lattice bonds at most twice. Such a model might have some relevance to describe statistical properties of RNA molecules. In order to mimic base…
Self-avoiding walk (SAW) represents linear polymer chain on a large scale, neglecting its chemical details and emphasizing the role of its conformational statistics. The role of the latter is important in formation of agglomerates and…

Self-avoiding walks and self-avoiding trails, two models of a polymer coil in dilute solution, have been shown to be governed by the same universality class. On the other hand, self-avoiding walks interacting via nearest-neighbour contacts…
We study magnetic polymers, defined as self-avoiding walks where each monomer $i$ carries a "spin'' $s_i$ and interacts with its first neighbor monomers, let us say $j$, via a coupling constant $J(s_i,s_j)$. Ising-like [$s_i = \pm 1$, with…
