Partition function for a 1 dimensional polymer
A one-dimensional polymer (a chain), made of (N + 1) monomers, is diffusing on top of a one-dimensional lattice having a lattice constant a = 1. The i-th monomer (i = 0, 1, 2,..., N) is located at a ...

Simple model of a polymer
Let's describe a polymer as a linear chain of $N$ links which all have a bendable part. The energies of one link are $\epsilon_-$ (unbended) and $\epsilon_\wedge$ (bended). Additionally, the lengthsof ...

Partition function for polymer chain
Supposing that I have linear chain with polymer of $N$ identical particles (interacting harmonically with adjacent particle) with position of first and last particle fixed, how do I find the partition ...
