Phase Transitions in Polymeric Systems: A Directed Walk Study

In this thesis several classes of directed paths are considered as models of linear polymers in a dilute solution. We obtain the generating functions for each model by considering factorization arguments. Information about the polymer behaviour can be extracted from the singularity structure of t...
