Abstract
"Normal" and indefinitely-growing (IG) self-avoiding walks (SAWs) are exactly enumerated on several deterministic fractals (the Manderbrot-Given curve with and without dangling bonds, and the 3-simplex). On the n th fractal generation, of linear size L, the average number of steps behaves asymptotically as 〈N〉=ALDsaw+B. In contrast to SAWs on regular lattices, on these factals IGSAWs and "normal" SAWs have the same fractal dimension Dsaw. However, they have different amplitudes (A) and correction terms (B).
