21. This number for the collapsed exponent has been obtained by an extrapolation of ν using the data for N=400, 500 from Table I, rather than by a direct fitting procedure, which would give a worse agreement for short polymer chains.
22. Such a definition is well defined for deep and moderate quenches when the number of unstable modes is not too small.
