Abstract
Using a modified version of a Monte Carlo algorithm proposed by Sterling and Greensite (1983) the authors obtain the exponents theta =1.51+or-0.25 and nu =0.502+or-0.024 for planar self-avoiding surfaces with a fixed boundary in three dimensions, consistent with the conjectured exact values for branched polymers. They show how the modifications are needed to obtain a viable distribution of surfaces.Keywords
