Self-avoiding polygons on the square lattice

چکیده
We have developed an improved algorithm that allows us to enumerate the number of self-avoiding polygons on the square lattice to perimeter length 90. Analysis of the resulting series yields very accurate estimates of the connective constant μ = 2.638 158 529 27(1) (biased) and the critical exponent α = 0.500 0005(10) (unbiased). The critical point is indistinguishable from a root of the polynomial 581x4 + 7x2 − 13 = 0. An asymptotic expansion for the coefficients is given for all n. There is strong evidence for the absence of any non-analytic correction-to-scaling exponent.

Self-avoiding walks and polygons on the triangular lattice
We use new algorithms, based on the finite lattice method of series expansion, to extend the enumeration of self-avoiding walks and polygons on the triangular lattice to length 40 and 60, respectively. For self-avoiding walks to length 40 we also calculate series for the metric properties of mean-square end-to-end distance, mean-square radius of gyration and the mean-square distance of a monome...

متن کاملOsculating and neighbour-avoiding polygons on the square lattice*
We study two simple modifications of self-avoiding polygons (SAPs). Osculating polygons (OP) are a super-set in which we allow the perimeter of the polygon to touch at a vertex. Neighbour-avoiding polygons (NAP) are only allowed to have nearest-neighbour vertices provided these are joined by the associated edge and thus form a sub-set of SAPs. We use the finite lattice method to count the numbe...
متن کاملExact solution of two classes of prudent polygons
Prudent walks are self-avoiding walks on a lattice which never step into the direction of an already occupied vertex. We study the closed version of these walks, called prudent polygons, where the last vertex of the walk is adjacent to its first one. More precisely, we give the half-perimeter generating functions of two subclasses of prudent polygons on the square lattice, which turn out to be ...
متن کاملScaling function for self-avoiding polygons
Exactly solvable models of planar polygons, weighted by perimeter and area, have deepened our understanding of the critical behaviour of polygon models in recent years. Based on these results, we derive a conjecture for the exact form of the critical scaling function for planar self-avoiding polygons. The validity of this conjecture was recently tested numerically using exact enumeration data f...
متن کاملA new transfer-matrix algorithm for exact enumerations: self-avoiding polygons on the square lattice
We present a new and more efficient implementation of transfer-matrix methods for exact enumerations of lattice objects. The new method is illustrated by an application to the enumeration of self-avoiding polygons on the square lattice. A detailed comparison with the previous best algorithm shows significant improvement in the running time of the algorithm. The new algorithm is used to extend t...
