Ballistic behavior for biased self-avoiding walks

چکیده
For self-avoiding walks on the d-dimensional cubic lattice defined with a positive bias in one of the coordinate directions, it is proved that the drift in the favored direction is strictly positive. c © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Keyword: Biased self-avoiding walks

Ballistic Phase of Self-Interacting Random Walks
We explain a unified approach to a study of ballistic phase for a large family of self-interacting random walks with a drift and self-interacting polymers with an external stretching force. The approach is based on a recent version of the OrnsteinZernike theory developed in Campanino et al. (2003, 2004, 2007). It leads to local limit results for various observables (e.g., displacement of the en...
متن کاملHigh - precision determination of the criticalexponent for self - avoiding
We compute the exponent for self-avoiding walks in three dimensions. We get = 1:1575 0:0006 in agreement with renormalization-group predictions. Earlier Monte Carlo and exact-enumeration determinations are now seen to be biased by corrections to scaling.
متن کاملPulling adsorbed self-avoiding walks from a surface
We consider a self-avoiding walk model of polymer adsorption where the adsorbed polymer can be desorbed by the application of a force, concentrating on the case of the square lattice. Using series analysis methods we investigate the behaviour of the free energy of the system when there is an attractive potential with the surface and a force f applied at the last vertex, normal to the surface, a...
متن کاملA Self-avoiding Walk with Attractive Interactions
A powerful tool for the study of self-avoiding walks is the lace expansion of Brydges and Spencer [BS]. It is applicable above four dimensions and shows the mean-field behavior of self-avoiding walks, that is, critical exponents are those of the simple random walk. An extensive survey of random walks can be found in [MS]. The lace expansion was originally introduced for weakly self-avoiding wal...
متن کاملWalking on fractals: diffusion and self-avoiding walks on percolation clusters
We consider random walks (RWs) and self-avoiding walks (SAWs) on disordered lattices directly at the percolation threshold. Applying numerical simulations, we study the scaling behavior of the models on the incipient percolation cluster in space dimensions d = 2, 3, 4. Our analysis yields estimates of universal exponents, governing the scaling laws for configurational properties of RWs and SAWs...
