Abstract
We present some rigorous results on the asymptotic behavior of the numbers of self-avoiding walks terminally attached to an interface. In particular we show that the value of a particular limit for ’’tails’’ is the same as the value of the corresponding limit for ’’loops.’’ We also derive some rigorous bounds on the limiting behavior, for long walks, of the partition function of the system. Exact enumeration results for several lattices are interpreted as suggesting that a phase transition may occur from three dimensional behavior to two dimensional behavior and that the mean square length exponent may change discontinuously from 1.2 to 1.5 at this point.
