tethered to the wall. If we consider a flat wall and that the chains are uniformly dis-
tributed over the surface of the wall, then the problem reduces to a one dimensional
problem with the relevant dimension along the normal to the wall. The external field
exerted by the wall on the tethered segment T’ is
V1ext(z) = <
if z = 0
(6.8)
∞ otherwise
And for the other segments
(6.9)
0 otherwise
Then the density of segment T’ is
Pi(O) = ехр(^рм) exp[A(0) - ∕⅛]∕ι,1(0)∕2,ι(0),
(6.10)
and for the other segments
(6.ιi)
where,
