Апстракт:
Hamiltonian cycles with bending rigidity are studied on the first three members of the fractal family obtained by a generalization of the modified rectangular (MR) fractal lattice. This model is proposed to describe conformational and thermodynamic properties of a single semi-flexible ring polymer confined in a poor and disordered (e.g. crowded) solvent. Due to the competition between temperature and polymer stiffness there is a possibility for the phase transition between molten globule and crystal phase of a polymer to occur. The partition function of the model in the thermodynamic limit is obtained and analyzed as a function of polymer stiffness parameter s (Boltzmann weight), which for semi-flexible polymers can take on values over the interval (0,1) . Other quantities, such as persistence length, specific heat and entropy are obtained numerically and presented graphically as functions of stiffness parameter s.
