The new algorithm for the Monte Carlo simulations of polymer lattice chains
was developed. The model chains were constructed on a simple cubic lattice
. The simulations were carried out on chains with and without excluded volu
me effect using the Metropolis scheme. The basic concept of the new algorit
hm is the multi-bond modification of the chain conformation instead of appl
ying the classical set of elementary micromodifications. The correctness of
the algorithm was verified by studying both static and dynamic properties
of the chains. The new algorithm was found to be 3 to 8 times faster than t
he classical one.
