The perimeter generating function of punctured staircase polygons
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a simple transfer matrix approach we have derived very long series expansions for the perimeter generating function of punctured staircase polygons (staircase polygons with a single internal staircase hole). We find that all the terms in the generating function can be reproduced from a linear Fuchsian differential equation of order 8. We perform an analysis of the properties of the differential equation.

Exact perimeter generating function for a model of punctured staircase polygons
We have derived the perimeter generating function of a model of punctured staircase polygons in which the internal staircase polygon is rotated by a 90° angle with respect to the outer staircase polygon. In one approach we calculated a long series expansion for the problem and found that all the terms in the generating function can be reproduced from a linear Fuchsian differential equation of o...

متن کاملArea Distribution and Scaling Function for Punctured Polygons
Punctured polygons are polygons with internal holes which are also polygons. The external and internal polygons are of the same type, and they are mutually as well as self-avoiding. Based on an assumption about the limiting area distribution for unpunctured polygons, we rigorously analyse the effect of a finite number of punctures on the limiting area distribution in a uniform ensemble, where p...
متن کاملExact Solution of Two Planar Polygon Models
Using a simple transfer matrix approach we have derived long series expansions for the perimeter generating functions of both three-choice polygons and punctured staircase polygons. In both cases we find that all the known terms in the generating function can be reproduced from a linear Fuchsian differential equation of order 8. We report on an analysis of the properties of the differential equ...
متن کاملPunctured polygons and polyominoes on the square lattice
We use the finite lattice method to count the number of punctured staircase and selfavoiding polygons with up to three holes on the square lattice. New or radically extended series have been derived for both the perimeter and area generating functions. We show that the critical point is unchanged by a finite number of punctures, and that the critical exponent increases by a fixed amount for eac...
