Brownian and fractional polymers with self-repulsion

Abstract

Brownian and fractional processes are useful computational tools for the modelling of physical phenomena. Here, modelling linear homopolymers in solution as Brownian or fractional processes, we develop a formalism to take into account both the interactions of the polymer with the solvent as well as the effect of arbitrary polymer-polymer potentials and Gibbs factors. As an example the average squared length is computed for a non-trivial Gaussian Gibbs factor, which is also compared with the Edwards' and a step factor.
