Calculation of the connective constant for self-avoiding walks via the pivot algorithm

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We calculate the connective constant for self-avoiding walks on the simple cubic lattice to unprecedented accuracy, using a novel application of the pivot algorithm. We estimate that μ= 4.684 039 931(27). Our method also provides accurate estimates of the number of self-avoiding walks, even for walks with millions of steps.
