The $n$-vector spin model, which includes the self-avoiding walk (SAW) as a special case for the $n \rightarrow 0 $ limit, has an upper critical dimensionality at four spatial dimensions (4D). We simulate the SAW on 4D hypercubic lattices…
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 give exact relations for a number of amplitude combinations that occur in the study of self-avoiding walks, polygons and lattice trails. In particular, we elucidate the lattice-dependent factors which occur in those combinations which…
We recently published [J. Phys A: Math. Theor. {\bf 45} 115202 (2012)] a new and more efficient implementation of a transfer-matrix algorithm for exact enumerations of self-avoiding polygons. Here we extend this work to the enumeration of…
We present simulations of self-avoiding random walks on 2-d lattices with the topology of an infinitely long cylinder, in the limit where the cylinder circumference L is much smaller than the Flory radius. We study in particular the…
We establish scaling limits for the random walk whose state space is the range of a simple random walk on the four-dimensional integer lattice. These concern the asymptotic behaviour of the graph distance from the origin and the spatial…
We have studied a model of self-attracting walk proposed by Sapozhnikov using Monte Carlo method. The mean square displacement $ < R^2(t) > \sim t^{2\nu}$ and the mean number of visited sites $ < S(t) > \sim t^{k}$ are calculated for one-,…
We perform a Monte Carlo simulation of two-dimensional N-step interacting self-avoiding walks at the theta point, with lengths up to N=3200. We compute the critical exponents, verifying the Coulomb-gas predictions, the theta-point…
We address a long-standing debate regarding the finite-size scaling of the Ising model in high dimensions, by introducing a random-length random walk model, which we then study rigorously. We prove that this model exhibits the same…
We enumerate self-avoiding walks and polygons, counted by perimeter, on the quasiperiodic rhombic Penrose and Ammann-Beenker tilings, thereby considerably extending previous results. In contrast to similar problems on regular lattices,…
The scaling behavior of self-avoiding walks (SAWs) on the backbone of percolation clusters in two, three and four dimensions is studied by Monte Carlo simulations. We apply the pruned-enriched Rosenbluth chain-growth method (PERM). Our…
We prove quantitative sub-ballisticity for the self-avoiding walk on the hexagonal lattice. Namely, we show that with high probability a self-avoiding walk of length $n$ does not exit a ball of radius $O(n/\log{n})$. Previously, only a…
We define a new family of self-avoiding walks (SAW) on the square lattice, called weakly directed walks. These walks have a simple characterization in terms of the irreducible bridges that compose them. We determine their generating…
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…
The strong interaction limit of the discrete-time weakly self-avoiding walk (or Domb--Joyce model) is trivially seen to be the usual strictly self-avoiding walk. For the continuous-time weakly self-avoiding walk, the situation is more…
By modifying the automaton used by P{\"o}nitz and Tittman [4], and considering loops of length up to 26, we obtain 2.662343 as an upper bound for the connective constant in the lattice Z 2 .
Various subsets of self-avoiding walks naturally appear when investigating existing methods designed to predict the 3D conformation of a protein of interest. Two such subsets, namely the folded and the unfoldable self-avoiding walks, are…
We have developed an improved algorithm that allows us to enumerate the number of self-avoiding polygons on the square lattice to perimeter length 90. Analysis of the resulting series yields very accurate estimates of the connective…
We study self-avoiding walks on the square lattice restricted to a square box of side $L$ weighted by a length fugacity without restriction of their end points. This models a confined polymer in dilute solution. The model admits a phase…
There is an extensive literature concerning self-avoiding walk on infinite graphs, but the subject is relatively undeveloped on finite graphs. The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the phase transition for self-avoiding walk on the…
