16. Note Added in Proof. A recent field-theoretical analysis of very accurate Monte Carlo data (Grassberger, P.; Sutter, P.; Schaeffer, L. J. Phys. A 1997, 30, 7039) provides an accurate parametrization of the partition function for the Domb-Joyce lattice model. Though the main dependence with chain length is found to be exponential, the field-theoretical results depend upon two parameters (and not upon the Fixman parameter only as postulated in the simple scaling assumption). Excluded volume is found to be relevant for slightly shorter chains and/or slightly weaker interactions than suggested by the simple arguments given at the end of the discussion in this paper.
