| dc.description.abstract | This thesis concerns a recently developed method for exact enumeration
of self-avoiding walks, called the length-doubling algorithm. This method was
created by the author and the supervisors and it substantially improves the
current methods for the exact enumeration of self-avoiding walks. The basis
of the algorithm and the results for the simple cubic lattice are given in the
article [2]. This thesis reiterates the basis of the algorithm with slightly different
terminology, and provides a more in-depth look at the implementation of the
algorithm. It also adds the results of the face-centered cubic (FCC) and body-
centered cubic (BCC) lattice, which are as of today yet unpublished. | |
