Copolymer Statistics Within the Framework of Simple Models

1 Copolymer Statistics Within the Framework of Simple Models 

Such dependencies are quite usual for the terminal and penultimate models since in these cases the sequence distributions are described by Markov statistics [51-53, 6]. In the former case this description is carried out by means of the Markov chain, the states S of which correspond to the individual monomer units 

The elements vy of matrix Q of the probabilities for going from state i to state j are expressed through the fraction xt of monomer M, in the mixture  

In the latter case the states Sj of the Markov chain correspond to the pairs of the monomer units  

The four parameters r ,) are connected with the reactivity ratios (2.4) through the following relations
