Abstract
Exact enumeration methods are used to study the distribution of units in self-avoiding polymer chains and rings on the FCC lattice. Estimates of the exponents characterizing the size dependence of the moments are derived and compared with those of the chain end-to-end distance distribution. Ratios of the different moment types are also studied and compared with the prediction of cluster theory.Keywords
