Abstract
A constructive proof is given that certain problems in the statistical mech anics of random copolymers are thermodynamically self-averaging. The proof relies on the use of normal numbers, and potentially gives a method for cal culating expectations in the quenched averaged ensemble. In particular, we give a new proof that adsorbing random copolymers are self-averaging.
