Abstract
The many-parameter Gaussian theory of a polymer chain is in the asymptotic region N to infinity (N is the number of monomer units) equivalent to a one-parameter scaled Gaussian theory. Such theories fulfil the necessary condition of minimum free energy only in a polymer chain without remote interactions along the chain. Therefore they cannot be used as a reliable basis in SCF calculations in polymers.
