Abstract
Abstract We present results from Monte Carlo studies of static properties of single model polymer chains in a continuum. The models are designed to represent the behavior of polymers in a good solvent. Our results for chains subjected to external constraints generally confirm the results obtained by scaling arguments. Estimates are provided of the amplitudes of the power laws which relate chain size to the characteristic parameters of the constraints. We also discuss limits of the regimes in which the power laws prevail. For free chains we study the crossover from ideal chain behavior to the excluded volume regime, and the corrections to scaling due to finite chain length.
