"Go with the winners"-Simulations
P. Grassberger, W. Nadler
We describe a general strategy for sampling configurations from a given (Gibbs-Boltzmann or other) distribution. It is {\it not} based on the Metropolis concept of establishing a M…
Branched Polymers and Percolation
Peter Grassberger
We study a supposed model for branched polymers which was shown in two dimensions to be in the universality class of ordinary percolation. We confirm this by high statistics simula…
Opacity and Entanglement of Polymer Chains
Peter Grassberger
We argue that the mean crossing number of a random polymer configuration is simply a measure of opacity, without being closely related to entanglement as claimed by several authors…
Slow Logarithmic Decay of Magnetization in the Zero Temperature Dynamics of an Ising Spin Chain: Analogy to Granular Compaction
Satya N. Majumdar, David S. Dean, Peter Grassberger
We study the zero temperature coarsening dynamics in an Ising chain in presence of a dynamically induced field that favors locally the `-' phase compared to the `+' phase. At late…
Exactness of the Annealed and the Replica Symmetric Approximations for Random Heteropolymers
Ugo Bastolla, Peter Grassberger
We study a heteropolymer model with random contact interactions introduced some time ago as a simplified model for proteins. The model consists of self-avoiding walks on the simple…
