description

We formulate a simple model of homogeneous garlands, which is valid for polymers, consisting of a thin main chain with large side groups placed equidistantly along the chain. The garlands continuouly change from selfavoiding walks,M=0, to random walks,m=1, to possibly ordered structures.
