Non-Markovian effects in the growth of a polymer chain

Abstract

Using a simple exactly solvable model, we show that event-dependent time delays may lead to significant non-Poisson effects in the statistics of polymer chain growth. The results are confirmed by stochastic simulation of various growth scenarios.
