Self-avoiding walks and multiple context-free languages
@article{Lehner2020SelfavoidingWA, title={Self-avoiding walks and multiple context-free languages}, author={Florian Lehner and Christian Lindorfer}, journal={ArXiv}, year={2020}, volume={abs/2010.06974} }
Let $G$ be a quasi-transitive, locally finite, connected graph rooted at a vertex $o$, and let $c_n(o)$ be the number of self-avoiding walks of length $n$ on $G$ starting at $o$. We show that if $G$ has only thin ends, then the generating function $F_{\mathrm{SAW},o}(z)=\sum_{n \geq 0} c_n(o) z^n$ is an algebraic function. In particular, the connective constant of such a graph is an algebraic number.
If $G$ is deterministically edge labelled, that is, every (directed) edge carries a label such…

It is proved that every locally finite, vertex-transitive graph with at least one thick end has a thick end with a 2-way infinite geodesic, while no thin end hasA 2- way infinite geode, and those ends in a local finite, accessible vertex- transitive graph are precisely the thick ends.
