We study polymers attached to spherical (circular) or paraboloidal (parabolic) probes in three (two) dimensions. Both self-avoiding and random walks are examined numerically. The behavior of a polymer of size $R_0$ attached to the tip of a…
We introduce a fast implementation of the pivot algorithm for self-avoiding walks, which we use to obtain large samples of walks on the cubic lattice of up to $33 \times 10^6$ steps. Consequently the critical exponent $\nu$ for…
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…
Large-scale Monte Carlo simulations of a phase-separating colloid-polymer mixture are performed and compared to recent experiments. The approach is based on effective interaction potentials in which the central monomers of self-avoiding…
A gas of self-avoiding surfaces with an arbitrary polynomial coupling to the gaussian curvature and an extrinsic curvature term can be realized in a three-dimensional Ising bcc lattice with only three local couplings. Similar three…
The mean area of two-dimensional unpressurised vesicles, or self-avoiding loops of fixed length $N$, behaves for large $N$ as $A_0 N^{3/2}$, while their mean square radius of gyration behaves as $R^2_0 N^{3/2}$. The amplitude ratio…
Advanced chain-growth computer simulation methodologies have been employed for a systematic statistical analysis of the critical behavior of a polymer adsorbing at a substrate. We use finitesize scaling techniques to investigate the…
We introduce the polytope of pointed pseudo-triangulations of a point set in the plane, defined as the polytope of infinitesimal expansive motions of the points subject to certain constraints on the increase of their distances. Its…
Writing $<R^2_N > = AN^{2\nu}(1+BN^{-\Delta_1}+CN^{-1}+ ...)$ for the mean square end--to--end length $<R^2_N>$ of a self--avoiding polymer chain of $N$ links, we have calculated $\Delta_1$ for the two--dimensional {\em continuum} case from…
2-level polytopes naturally appear in several areas of pure and applied mathematics, including combinatorial optimization, polyhedral combinatorics, communication complexity, and statistics. In this paper, we present a study of some 2-level…
New interpolation and quasi-interpolation operators of Cl\'ement- and Scott-Zhang-type are analyzed on anisotropic polygonal and polyhedral meshes. Since no reference element is available, an appropriate linear mapping to a reference…
We study the $\epsilon$-pseudospectra $\sigma_\epsilon(A)$ of square matrices $A \in \mathbb{C}^{N \times N}$. We give a complete characterization of the $\epsilon$-pseudospectrum of any $2 \times 2$ matrix and describe the asymptotic…
We report extensive simulations of the relaxation dynamics of a self-avoiding polymer confined inside a cylindrical pore. In particular, we concentrate on examining how confinement influences the scaling behavior of the global relaxation…
Polytopes are the basic finite data structures for convex sets: they appear as feasible regions in linear optimization, as geometric summaries in algorithms, and as random objects in stochastic geometry. A natural geometric question is…
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…
In this paper we study the area function of polygons, where the vertices are sliding along curves. We give geometric criteria for the critical points and determine also the Hesse matrix at those points. This is the starting point for a…
The problem of maximizing the average cross section through a point within a shape is introduced. This idea is extended into arbitrary dimensions. However, the average cross sectional volume cannot be maximized unless the cross sections…
While there is extensive literature on approximation of convex bodies by inscribed or circumscribed polytopes, much less is known in the case of generally positioned polytopes. Here we give upper and lower bounds for approximation of convex…
Biadjoint scalar field theories are increasingly important in the study of scattering amplitudes in various string and field theories. Recently, some first exact nonperturbative solutions of biadjoint scalar theory were presented, with a…
We obtain a complete description of anisotropic scaling limits and the existence of scaling transition for nonlinear functions (Appell polynomials) of stationary linear random fields on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with moving average coefficients…
