The self-avoiding walk is a mathematical model that has important applications in statistical mechanics and polymer science. In spite of its simple definition—a path on a lattice that does not visit the same site more than once—it is difficult to analyze mathematically. The Self-Avoiding Walk provides the first unified account of the known rigorous results for the self-avoiding walk, with particular emphasis on its critical behavior. Its goals are to give an account of the current mathematical understanding of the model, to indicate some of the applications of the concept in physics and in chemistry, and to give an introduction to some of the nonrigorous methods used in those fields.

Topics covered in the book include: the lace expansion and its application to the self-avoiding walk in more than four dimensions where most issues are now resolved; an introduction to the nonrigorous scaling theory; classical work of Hammersley and others; a new exposition of Kesten’s pattern theorem and its consequences; a discussion of the decay of the two-point function and its relation to probabilistic renewal theory; analysis of Monte Carlo methods that have been used to study the self-avoiding walk; the role of the self-avoiding walk in physical and chemical applications. Methods from combinatorics, probability theory, analysis, and mathematical physics play important roles. The book is highly accessible to both professionals and graduate students in mathematics, physics, and chemistry.​

The last walk we discuss is the indefinitely growing self-avoiding walk 11 (IGSAW). This walk is a self-avoiding walk with a one-step probability p i = 1 /(number of jump sites). Jump sites are nearest neighbour sites which do not lead into a cage, thus this walk will never terminate. This walk therefore comibines two important properties which Author: J.W. Lyklema. This is a program written on python 3 for: non-returning random walk simulation on square lattice (2D) - non-returning random walk in 3D - self-avoiding random walk Self-avoiding random walk algorithm: if walking 'bug' returns on the site visited before, the attempt is ditched and new SAW starts again from the (0,0) position on the lattice several attempts usually required to perform .

This article is a pedagogical review of Monte Carlo methods for the self-avoiding walk, with emphasis on the extraordinarily efficient algorithms developed over the past decade. Many more details can be found in [1]. 1. INTRODUCTION This talk has no direct relation to QCD; it's therefore intended as by: Run experiments to estimate the average walk length.
