Title: | On knots in a model for the adsorption of ring polymers | Authors: | VANDERZANDE, Carlo | Issue Date: | 1995 | Publisher: | IOP PUBLISHING LTD | Source: | JOURNAL OF PHYSICS A-MATHEMATICAL AND GENERAL, 28(13). p. 3681-3700 | Abstract: | The occurence of knots in a model of a ring polymer interacting with a surface is considered. The polymer is described by a self-avoiding polygon (SAP) and interacts with the surface through a short-range interaction. It is proven rigorously that, for all non-zero temperatures, all except exponentially few SAPs contain a knot. We also show that the average knot complexity grows at least linearly with the length of the polymer, for sufficiently long polymers. | Notes: | VANDERZANDE, C, LIMBURGS UNIV CENTRUM,DEPT WISKUNDE NAT INFORMAT,UNIV CAMPUS,B-3590 DIEPENBEEK,BELGIUM. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/3606 | DOI: | 10.1088/0305-4470/28/13/013 | ISI #: | A1995RK87200013 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
