## Abstract By use of the pivot algorithm, starβbranched chains with __F__ = 3β12 arms of length __n, nF__ = 480, and linear chains (__F__ = 2) are generated on a tetrahedral lattice. In order to simulate different qualities of the solvent, specific shortβrange interactions are taken into account.
## Abstract **Summary:** Polymer molecules made by radical polymerization with transfer to polymer and recombination termination contain branch points (connecting branch arms to backbones) and combination points (connecting various molecular structures). The trivariate chain length/degree of branch
