Homework Statement
I am having trouble finding an expression for W (multiplicity) for a chain that can move in all possible directions (3 dimensions)
Homework Equations
Multiplicity is the number of possible states over total states.
The Attempt at a Solution
\I understand for a chain that can move in 1 dimension (left or right), the multiplicity is N!/(nr!(N-nr)!). N is the number of monomers the chain is made from and nr is the number of links pointing right and nl = N - nr, is the number of links pointing left. I was wondering how to find the multiplicity when the chain can movie in 3 dimensions (6 total directions)?
