Abstract:
We employ a simple and accurate dimensional interpolation formula for the shapes of random walks at D = 3 and D = 2 based on the analytically known solutions at both limits D = ∞ and D = 1. The results obtained for the radius of gyration of an arbitrary shaped object have about 2% error compared with accurate numerical results at D = 3 and D = 2. We also calculated the asphericity for a three-dimensional random walk using the dimensional interpolation formula. The results agree very well with the numerically simulated results. The method is general and can be used to estimate other properties of random walks.

Random Variables
Uppercase letters such as X or Y denote a random variable. Lowercase letters like x or y denote the value of a random variable. If X is a random variable, then X is written in words, and x is given as a number.
For example, let X = the...
