The denaturation transition which takes place in circular DNA is analyzed by extending the Poland-Scheraga (PS) model to include the winding degrees of freedom. We consider the case of a homopolymer whereby the winding number of the double-stranded helix, released by a loop denaturation, is absorbed by supercoils. We find that as in the case of linear DNA, the order of the transition is determi...
