Abstract

We present Monte Carlo simulations of the coil-globule transition for interacting self-avoiding walks (ISAW) and interacting self-avoiding trails (ISAT) on the hyper-cubic lattice in four and five dimensions, performed with the PERM algorithm. We find that the second-order nature of the coil-globule transition is masked by pseudo-first-order behaviour, i.e. the build-up of first-order-like singularities due to strong finite-size corrections to scaling.
