Monte Carlo results for three-dimensional self-avoiding walks

Abstract

We discuss possible sources of systematic errors in the computation of critical exponents by renormalization-group methods, extrapolations from exact enumerations and Monte Carlo simulations. A careful Monte Carlo determination of the susceptibility exponent gamma for three-dimensional self-avoiding walks has been used to test the claimed accuracy of the various methods.
