Extract

This study extends earlier work on the characterization of the asymmetry of a section of a typical three-dimensional Brownian path using the moment of inertia tensor about the centre of mass. A new method for determining an upper bound on the ensemble average of the smallest eigenvalue is presented. This work has applications to polymer science, since single chain polymer molecules are often modelled as sections of Brownian paths.
