Abstract
Long polymer chains in solution can be highly self-or mutually entangled. Several kinds of constraints can influence entanglement properties; among them a crucial role is played by geometrical constraints, which confine the chain(s) to restricted spaces. In this paper we investigate, using analytical and numerical techniques, the effects of different kinds of geometrical constraints on the topological entanglement complexity of polymer chain(s), i.e. on the knotting and linking probabilities.
