Abstract
The distribution of distances between any pair of units in a flexible linear polymer is investigated by an off-lattice Monte Carlo method. Three different cases, according to the position of the pair components (end or inner units), are studied. The results depend upon the Lennard-Jones energy parameter, which determines the solvent regime. For the excluded-volume conditions, the results are in agreement with renormalization group predictions. The results in the θ region show more subtle features, but they are close to the Gaussian ideal behavior. The equilibrium cyclization probability is also computed
