Trajectories of directed lattice paths

Abstract: The distribution of monomers along a linear polymer grafted on a hard wall is modelled by determining the probability distribution of occupied vertices of Dyck and ballot path models of adsorbing linear polymers. For example, the probability that a Dyck path passes through the lattice site with coordinates (⌊εn⌋,⌊δ√n⌋) in the square lattice, for 0 < ε < 1 and δ ≥ 0, is determined asymptotically as n →∞ and this uncovers the probability density of vertices along Dyck path in the limit as the length of the… Show more

“…At sufficiently low temperatures, a test particle will likely localize in such a low density region until it diffuses away from the network due to thermal vibrations, or until the network degrades and releases it. The results here show that there is little scope for an adsorbed polymer chain to contain a test particle, as its density decreases with distance from the wall, as already seen in the model in reference [15]. However, a second (desorbed) polymer, grafted to the wall or to the first, may cause the formation of lower density regions, as seen in figures 9 and 11.…”

“…The plot shows low densities adjacent to the hard wall which increases with δ before it drops of farther from the wall. Since the lower path is adsorbed on the hard wall, this density of the top path is the same as the density for a single Dyck path determined in reference [15].…”
