Meirovitch developed the scanning method to study a system of many chains with excluded volume contained in a box on a square lattice.With this method, an initially empty box is filled with the chain monomers step by step, with help of transition probabilities. The probability of construction of the whole system is the product of the transition probabilities selected, and therefore, the entropy of the system is known. Consequently standard thermodynamic relations can be used to make highly accurate calculations of pressure and chemical potential, directly from the entropy. In principle, all these quantities can be obtained from a single sample without the need to carry out any thermodynamic integration. 

By using the above-described algorithms to generate fractal sets, fractal sets constructed on square lattices have been obtained [24]. 

The scanning method was also applied to a model of / SAWs enclosed in a box on a square lattice. The chains are added gradually to an initially empty box, where each chain is grown by a scanning procedure as described above. One calculates the system s probability, which is the product of the construction probabilities of the individual chains. 

S. Square vs. Hexagonal Rod Spacing in Pile. Since there is no preference in lattice geometry from the standpoint of physics, the square lattice spacing of rods will be adopted for its easier adaption to construction of the tank shields, piping, valve arrangements, etc. 

Let us consider the case of deterministic fractals first, i.e. self-similar substrates which can be constructed according to deterministic rules. Prominent examples are Sierpinski triangular or square lattices, also called gasket or carpet (in d = 2) and sponge (in d = 3), respectively, Mandelbrot-Given fractals, which are models for the backbone of the incipient percolation cluster, and hierachical lattices (see for instance the overview in Ref. [21]). In this chapter, however, we restrict the discussion to the Sierpinski triangular and square lattice for brevity. 

In further studies of the TSP on a randomly diluted lattice [49] the expression for Icip), the average length of the shortest path per occupied site was derived. For a triangular lattice, Icip) is unity and has a correction of order of (1-p) . In the case of a square lattice, retaining only first order terms, the optimal paths can be derived from the dynamics of a model of a one-dimensional gas of kinks and anti-kinks. With the Cartesian metric, it was found that Icip) < 1 + O ((1 — p) ) a constructive upper bound valid for all p...

The number S N) of distinct sites visited during an AT-step random walk on a plane square lattice small diamonds) and on a percolating cluster constructed over the same lattice, at threshold small triangles). In the first case, the increase is (statistically) linear at each step, the probability of finding a new site is constant. In the second case, the discovery of new sites is much slower, going as There is a tendency to retrace the same path although, in contrast, the...

Some of the critical values of percolation can be derived using a simple method based on the duality of the lattices. In general, the new lattice A constructed from A by connecting the centers of lattice cells is called the dual lattice of A. For instance, the dual lattice of the square lattice is a square lattice (S = S). It is self-dual. A honeycomb lattice and a triangular lattice are dual to each other (T = H, H =T) (Figure 8.12).

Construction of the Fibonacci sequence by using a square lattice in two dimensions the thick line and corresponding rotated axes x, y are at angle 6 (tan0 = 1/t) with respect to the original x, y axes. The square lattice points within the strip of width w, outlined by the two dashed lines, are projected onto the thick line to produce the Fibonacci sequence.
