We consider self-avoiding walk on finite graphs with large girth. We study a few aspects of the model originally considered by Lawler, Schramm and Werner on finite balls in Z^d. The expected length of a random self avoiding path is…

We consider random self-avoiding walks between two points on the boundary of a finite subdomain of Z^d (the probability of a self-avoiding trajectory gamma is proportional to mu^{-length(gamma)}). We show that the random trajectory becomes…

We consider the model of self-avoiding walks on the $d$-dimensional hypercubic lattice interacting with a $d^*$-dimensional defect, where $1\leq d^*<d$. Such an interaction can be attractive or repulsive, and is controlled by a Boltzmann…

This is a rather personal review of the problem of self-avoiding walks and polygons. After defining the problem, and outlining what is known rigorously and what is merely conjectured, I highlight the major outstanding problems. I then give…

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…

This is an exposition of the theorem from the title, which says that the number of self-avoiding walks with n steps in the hexagonal lattice has asymptotics (2cos(pi/8))^{n+o(n)}. We lift the key identity to formal level and simplify the…

We consider lattice walks in $\R^k$ confined to the region $0<x_1<x_2...<x_k$ with fixed (but arbitrary) starting and end points. The walks are required to be "reflectable", that is, we assume that the number of paths can be counted using…

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…

The Interacting Growth Walk (IGW) is a kinetic algorithm proposed recently for generating long, compact, self avoiding walks. The growth process in IGW is tuned by the so called growth temperature $T' = 1/(k_B \beta ')$. On a square lattice…

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…

For a symmetric, homogeneous and irreducible random walk on d-dimensional integer lattice Z^d, having zero mean and a finite variance of jumps, we study the passage times (with possible infinite values) determined by the starting point x,…

Self-avoiding walks (SAW) are the source of very difficult problems in probabilities and enumerative combinatorics. They are also of great interest as they are, for instance, the basis of protein structure prediction in bioinformatics.…

We study the mean first passage time of a one-dimensional random walker with step sizes decaying exponentially in discrete time. That is step sizes go like $\lambda^{n}$ with $\lambda\leq1$ . We also present, for pedagogical purposes, a…

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…

Let $W_d(n)$ be the number of $2n$-step walks in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ which begin and end at the origin. We study the exponent of $2$ in the prime factorisation of this number; i.e., $w_d(n) = \nu_2(W_d(n))$. We show that, for each $d$, there is…

We present simulation results for long ($N\leq 4000$) self-avoiding walks in four dimensions. We find definite indications of logarithmic corrections, but the data are poorly described by the asymptotically leading terms. Detailed…

In this paper we introduce the notion of Random Walk in Changing Environment - a random walk in which each step is performed in a different graph on the same set of vertices, or more generally, a weighted random walk on the same vertex and…

Prudent walks are self-avoiding walks which cannot step towards an already occupied vertex. We introduce a new model of adsorbing prudent walks on the square lattice, which start on an impenetrable surface and accrue a fugacity $a$ with…

In this article, we consider the number of collisions of three independent simple random walks on a subgraph of the two-dimensional square lattice obtained by removing all horizontal edges with vertical coordinate not equal to 0 and then,…

We consider various two-dimensional lattices such as square, Kagome, Lieb, honeycomb, dice lattices of finite extent, to study the effect of lattice profile in terms of the number of nearest neighbour and connectivity patterns on the…
