In a recent letter, a simple method was proposed to generate solvable models that predict the critical properties of statistical systems in hyperspherical geometries. To that end, it was shown how to reduce a random walk in $D$ dimensions…
We consider various lattice models of polymers: lattice trees, lattice animals, and self-avoiding walks. The polymer interacts with a surface (hyperplane), receiving a unit energy reward for each site in the surface. There is an adsorption…
We deduce the qualitative phase diagram of a long flexible neutral polymer chain immersed in a poor solvent near an attracting surface using phenomenological arguments. The actual positions of the phase boundaries are estimated numerically…
The collapse transition of an isolated polymer has been modelled by many different approaches, including lattice models based on self-avoiding walks and self-avoiding trails. In two dimensions, previous simulations of kinetic growth trails,…
Recently, it has been proposed that the adsorption transition for a single polymer in dilute solution, modeled by lattice walks in three dimensions, is not universal with respect to inter-monomer interactions. It has also been conjectured…
The distribution of monomers in a coating of grafted and adsorbing polymers is modelled using a grafted staircase polygon in the square lattice. The adsorbing staircase polygon consists of a bottom and a top lattice path (branches) and the…
We consider walks on the edges of the square lattice $\mathbb Z^2$ which obey \emph{two-step rules,} which allow (or forbid) steps in a given direction to be followed by steps in another direction. We classify these rules according to a…
We have produced extended series for two-dimensional prudent polygons, based on a transfer matrix algorithm of complexity O$(n^5),$ for a series of length $n.$ We have extended the definition to three dimensions and produced series…
Models of random walks are considered in which walkers are born at one location and die at all other locations with uniform death rate. Steady-state distributions of random walkers exhibit dimensionally dependent critical behavior as a…
We study a discrete random walk on a one-dimensional finite lattice, where each state has different probabilities to move one step forward, backward, staying for a moment or being absorbed. We obtain expected number of arrivals and expected…
We present an analysis of a partially directed walk model of a polymer which at one end is tethered to a sticky surface and at the other end is subjected to a pulling force at fixed angle away from the point of tethering. Using the kernel…
There have been separate studies of the polymer collapse transition, where the collapse was induced by two different types of attraction. In each case, the configurations of the polymer were given by the same subset of random walks being…
A phase diagram for a surface interacting long flexible partially directed polymer chain in a two-dimensional poor solvent where the possibility of collapse in the bulk exists is determined using exact enumeration method. We used a model of…
Directed paths have been used extensively in the scientific literature as a model of a linear polymer. Such paths models in particular the conformational entropy of a linear polymer and the effects it has on the free energy. These directed…
We consider the reversible adsorption of dimers on a regular lattice, where adsorption occurs on a finite fraction of sites selected randomly. By comparing this system to the pure system where all sites are available for adsorption, we show…
This article analyzes directed lattice paths, when a boundary reflecting or absorbing condition is added to the classical models. The lattice paths are characterized by two time-independent sets of rules (also called steps) which have a…
We consider self-avoiding walks terminally attached to an impenetrable surface at which they can adsorb. We call the vertices farthest away from this plane the top vertices and we consider applying a force at the plane containing the top…
Nearest neighbor random walks in the quarter plane that are absorbed when reaching the boundary are studied. The cases of positive and zero drift are considered. Absorption probabilities at a given time and at a given site are made…
