A simplified model for the closed circular DNA (ccDNA) is proposed to describe some specific features of the helix-coil transition in such molecules. The Hamiltonian of ccDNA is related to the one introduced earlier for the open chain DNA (ocDNA). The basic assumption is that the reduced energy of t
