A MODIFIED METHOD OF DETERMINING FRACTAL DIMENSIONS OF POLYMERS AND BIOPOLYMERS

A modified method of calculating the end-to-end distance of segments with a given number of units in a single polymer chain is presented and numerical studies of some fractals by using Havlin and Ben-Avraham's and our methods are given. The results show that our method can remove the fluctuations in the end-to-end distances of the segments arising in Havlin and Ben-Avraham's method.
