Abstract
The authors discuss the conformation of a linear flexible polymer chain in the vicinity of an attractive wall. They show that the structure in the adsorbing plane may be analysed in terms of a node avoiding Levy flight. This provides a complementary insight to the scaling approach.Keywords
