Abstract

A simple two dimensional model for semiflexible polymers is discussed. A rigorous lower bound is obtained for the free energy and a rigorous upper bound is obtained for the energy. These bounds evaluated for infinite systems are shown to be in serious conflict with results obtained by a Monte Carlo simulation of a finite system.
