✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A detailed analysis of the efficiency of a Monte‐Carlo (MC) method employing non‐local moves for simple lattice ring polymers is presented. While the introduction of kink‐translocation moves for linear chains results in the expected speedup by a factor of the order of the number of sites, this is significantly reduced for a melt of rings.

## Abstract **Summary:** Monte Carlo computer simulations have been performed for model polymers confined in slits of thickness comparable to the transverse diameter of the chains. The density of polymer within the slits is allowed to vary with the slit thickness in such a way that the content of t

## Abstract This work presents a study of the configurational properties of bead‐spring chains in steady‐state potential flows. These properties are obtained from off‐lattice Monte Carlo simulations. The results of our simulations compare favourably with theoretical results for phantom chains. We i
