In this paper, we investigate a model for a $1+1$ dimensional self-interacting and partially directed self-avoiding walk, usually referred to by the acronym IPDSAW. The interaction intensity and the free energy of the system are denoted by…

The scaling properties of self-avoiding walks on a d-dimensional diluted lattice at the percolation threshold are analyzed by a field-theoretical renormalization group approach. To this end we reconsider the model of Y. Meir and A. B.…

The smart kinetic self-avoiding walk (SKSAW) is a random walk which never intersects itself and grows forever when run in the full-plane. At each time step the walk chooses the next step uniformly from among the allowable nearest neighbors…

A planar self-avoiding walk (SAW) is a nearest neighbor random walk path in the square lattice with no self-intersection. A planar self-avoiding polygon (SAP) is a loop with no self-intersection. In this paper we present conjectures for the…

We study an annealed model of Uniform Infinite Planar Quadrangulation (UIPQ) with an infinite two-sided self-avoiding walk (SAW), which can also be described as the result of glueing together two independent uniform infinite…

This paper proves the long-standing open conjecture rooted in chemical physics (Flory (1949)) that the self-avoiding walk (SAW) in the square lattice has root mean square displacement exponent \nu= 3/4. This value is an instance of the…

Let D be a domain in the plane containing the origin. We are interested in the ensemble of self-avoiding walks (SAW's) in D which start at the origin and end on the boundary of the domain. We introduce an ensemble of SAW's that we expect to…

Long-distance characteristics of small-world networks have been studied by means of self-avoiding walks (SAW's). We consider networks generated by rewiring links in one- and two-dimensional regular lattices. The number of SAW's $u_n$ was…

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…

Several kinds of walks on complex networks are currently used to analyze search and navigation in different systems. Many analytical and computational results are known for random walks on such networks. Self-avoiding walks (SAWs) are…

We have studied self-avoiding walks contained within an $L \times L$ square whose end-points can lie anywhere within, or on, the boundaries of the square. We prove that such walks behave, asymptotically, as walks crossing a square (WCAS),…

We investigate, by series methods, the behaviour of interacting self-avoiding walks (ISAWs) on the honeycomb lattice and on the square lattice. This is the first such investigation of ISAWs on the honeycomb lattice. We have generated data…

We construct the two-sided infinite self-avoiding walk (SAW) on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for $d\geq5$ and use it to prove pattern theorems for the self-avoiding walk. We show that infinite two-sided SAW is the infinite-shift limit of infinite…

We study via Monte Carlo simulation a generalisation of the so-called vertex interacting self-avoiding walk (VISAW) model on the square lattice. The configurations are actually not self-avoiding walks but rather restricted self-avoiding…
