We consider self-avoiding walks terminally attached to a surface at which they can adsorb. A force is applied, normal to the surface, to desorb the walk and we investigate how the behaviour depends on the vertex of the walk at which the…

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…
In the present paper, we consider the interacting partially-directed self-avoiding walk (IPDSAW) attracted by a vertical wall. The IPDSAW was introduced by Zwanzig and Lauritzen (J. Chem. Phys., 1968) as a manner of investigating the…
A growing self-avoiding walk (GSAW) is a stochastic process that starts from the origin on a lattice and grows by occupying an unoccupied adjacent lattice site at random. A sufficiently long GSAW will reach a state in which all adjacent…
Nienhuis' truncated O(n) model gives rise to a model of self-avoiding loops on the hexagonal lattice, each loop having a fugacity of n. We study such loops subjected to a particular kind of staggered field w, which for n -> infinity has the…
A linear polymer grafted to a hard wall and underneath an AFM tip can be modelled in a lattice as a grafted lattice polymer (or self-avoiding walk) compressed underneath a piston approaching the wall. As the piston approaches the wall the…
