Abstract

We consider the dynamics of the simplest chain of a large number N of particles. In the double scaling limit, we find the partition of the parameter space into two domains: for one domain, the supremum over the time interval (0,∞) of the relative extension of the chain tends to 1 as N → , and for the other domain, to infinity.
