Scaling of Self-Avoiding Walks and Self-Avoiding Trails in Three Dimensions
(27K, latex2e)

ABSTRACT.  Motivated by recent claims of a proof that the length scale exponent 
for the end-to-end distance scaling of self-avoiding walks is precisely 
$7/12=0.5833\ldots$, we present results of large-scale simulations of 
self-avoiding walks and self-avoiding trails with repulsive contact 
interactions on the hypercubic lattice. We find no evidence to support 
this claim; our estimate $\nu=0.5874(2)$ is in accord with the best 
previous results from simulations.
