چکیده

A method to determine the type of knot formed by a compact lattice chain is described. The compact lattice chain refers to a lattice self−avoiding walk that visits ever lattice site within a cubic region. The method is implemented in computer code as C++ and Java programs. As a first measure of knot complexity, the average number of crossings in the knot projection for a range of chain sizes is determined. Next, the frequency of occurrence of the first few types of knots in the compact lattice chains is measured. There is also particular interest in isolating those chains that are trivial or unknotted. These chains may be analyzed further to yield information such as the statistics of the sub−chains.

A convex combinatorial property of compact sets in the plane and its roots in lattice theory

K. Adaricheva and M. Bolat have recently proved that if $,mathcal U_0$ and $,mathcal U_1$ are circles in a triangle with vertices $A_0,A_1,A_2$, then there exist $jin {0,1,2}$ and $kin{0,1}$ such that $,mathcal U_{1-k}$ is included in the convex hull of $,mathcal U_kcup({A_0,A_1, A_2}setminus{A_j})$. One could say disks instead of circles.Here we prove the existence of such a $j$ and $k$ ...

Some properties of b-weakly compact operators on Banach lattices

In this paper we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for which each Banach lattice  is    space and we study some properties of b-weakly compact operators from a Banach lattice  into a Banach space . We show that every weakly compact operator from a Banach lattice  into a Banach space  is b-weakly compact and give a counterexample which shows that the inverse is not true but we prove ...

Secondary structures in long compact polymers.

Compact polymers are self-avoiding random walks that visit every site on a lattice. This polymer model is used widely for studying statistical problems inspired by protein folding. One difficulty with using compact polymers to perform numerical calculations is generating a sufficiently large number of randomly sampled configurations. We present a Monte Carlo algorithm that uniformly samples com...

A classification of hull operators in archimedean lattice-ordered groups with unit

The category, or class of algebras, in the title is denoted by $bf W$. A hull operator (ho) in $bf W$ is a reflection in the category consisting of $bf W$ objects with only essential embeddings as morphisms. The proper class of all of these is $bf hoW$. The bounded monocoreflection in $bf W$ is denoted $B$. We classify the ho's by their interaction with $B$ as follows. A ``word'' is a function ...
