The star‐branched polymers on the tetrahedral lattice are studied by means of the Monte Carlo method. The influence of solvent quality on the dimensions of the coil is described for both linear and branched polymer systems of different functionality. It has been observed that the ratios of gyration radii 〈S^2^〉~b~/〈S^2^〉~l~ are greater than those predicted theoretically for the random‐flight model. The fourth reduced moment of S^2^ distribution and the mean‐square separation of the branch ends from the center of gravity have been also computed. The changes in segment arrangement in the coil with increasing number of branches have been observed.

## Abstract A uniform star‐branched polymer model with __f__ = 3 arms based on a simple cubic lattice was studied by means of the dynamic Monte Carlo method. The model chain is athermal with excluded‐volume interactions and it is flexible. A new type of local micromodification was introduced to mak
## Abstract By use of the pivot algorithm, star‐branched chains with __F__ = 3–12 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 short‐range interactions are taken into account.
