We simulated self-avoiding walks on the square lattice with fixed endpoints by means of a dynamic Monte Carlo algorithm. From these data we obtain an evaluation of the effective coordination number and the critical exponents a and U. We can therefore test the hyperscaling relation 2a = dv with a careful estimate of systematic and statistical errors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
