Abstract
We provide general formulae for the configurational exponents of an ar bitrary polymer network connected to the surface of an arbitrary wedge of the two-dimensional plane, where the surface is allowed to assume a general mixture of boundary conditions on either side of the wedge. We report on a comprehensive study of a linear chain by exact enumerat ion, with various attachments of the walk's ends to the surface, in we dges of angles pi/2 and pi, with general mixed boundary conditions.
