Wavelet treatment of the intra-chain correlation functions of homopolymers in dilute solutions
Abstract
Discrete wavelets are applied to parametrization of the intra-chain two-point correlation functions of homopolymers in dilute solutions obtained from Monte Carlo simulation. Several orthogonal and biorthogonal basis sets have been investigated for use in the truncated wavelet approximation. Quality of the approximation has been assessed by calculation of the scaling exponents obtained from des Cloizeaux ansatz for the correlation functions of homopolymers with different connectivities in a good solvent. The resulting exponents are in a better agreement with those from the recent renormalisation group calculations as compared to the data without the wavelet denoising. We also discuss how the wavelet treatment improves the quality of data for correlation functions from simulations of homopolymers at varied solvent conditions and of heteropolymers.
