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…

We study three-dimensional self-avoiding walks in presence of a one-dimensional excluded region. We show the appearance of a universal sub-leading exponent which is independent of the particular shape and symmetries of the excluded region.…
We consider a long-range version of self-avoiding walk in dimension $d > 2(\alpha \wedge 2)$, where $d$ denotes dimension and $\alpha$ the power-law decay exponent of the coupling function. Under appropriate scaling we prove convergence to…
We consider two dimensional random walks conditioned to stay in the positive quadrant. Assuming that the increments of the walk have finite second moments and that the drift vector is co-oriented with one of two axes, we construct positive…
Based on transfer matrix techniques and finite size scaling, we study the oriented polymer (self-avoiding walk) with nearest neighbor interaction. In the repulsive regime, various critical exponents are computed and compared with exact…
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…
Quantum walks exhibit many unique characteristics compared to classical random walks. In the classical setting, self-avoiding random walks have been studied as a variation on the usual classical random walk. Classical self-avoiding random…
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…
