定向路径作为线性聚合物的模型在科学文献中被广泛使用。这种路径模型，特别是线性聚合物的构象熵和它对自由能的影响。这些定向模型是自回避行走的简化版本，但它们确实可以洞察聚合物的相行为，也可以作为研究线性聚合物行为中构象自由度影响的工具。本文研究了线性聚合物在约束几何（楔形）中的有向路径模型。我们主要关注的焦点是$C_n$，长度为$n$steps的有向晶格路径的数目，它在东北和东南方向上采取步骤，并且限制在楔形$y=\pm x/p$，其中$p$是一个整数。本文详细研究了P=2$的情形，并用迭代核方法确定母函数。我们还研究了$C_n$的非对称性。特别地，我们证明$$c_n=[0.67874...]\乘以2^{n-1}(1+(-1)^n)+O((4/3^{3/4}）^{n+O(n)}）+O((4/3^{3/4}）^n)$$$,其中我们可以很少努力地确定常数$0.67874...$到任意精度。

英文摘要：
  Directed paths have been used extensively in the scientific literature as a model of a linear polymer. Such paths models in particular the conformational entropy of a linear polymer and the effects it has on the free energy. These directed models are simplified versions of the self-avoiding walk, but they do nevertheless give insight into the phase behaviour of a polymer, and also serve as a tool to study the effects of conformational degrees of freedom in the behaviour of a linear polymer. In this paper we examine a directed path model of a linear polymer in a confining geometry (a wedge). The main focus of our attention is $c_n$, the number of directed lattice paths of length $n$ steps which takes steps in the North-East and South-East directions and which is confined to the wedge $Y=\pm X/p$, where $p$ is an integer. In this paper we examine the case $p=2$ in detail, and we determine the generating function using the iterated kernel method. We also examine the asymtotics of $c_n$. In particular, we show that $$ c_n = [0.67874...]\times 2^{n-1}(1+(-1)^n) + O((4/3^{3/4})^{n+o(n)}) + o((4/3^{3/4})^n) $$ where we can determine the constant $0.67874...$ to arbitrary accuracy with little effort.
