摘要
Accurate coordinate density functions are calculated for the end-to-end separations of short self-avoiding random walks on the tetrahedral and face-centered cubic lattices. The results are extrapolated to describe long walks by assuming an approach to spherical symmetry with increase in number of steps. The form of the density functions so obtained can be represented by an equation used by Domb to describe his exact enumeration data on the cubic lattice. It is suggested that the essential form of the density function is independent of the lattice for long walks.
