Notes:
The Daniels-type distribution functions of the end-to-end distance of three-dimensional and two-dimensional wormlike chains are obtained to terms of order t-10, by an operational method with use of a digital computer, where t is the ratio of the total chain contour length to the Kuhn segment length in three-dimensional cases and of the contour length to the persistence length in two-dimensional cases. The convergence of the ring-closure probability and the mean reciprocal distance is examined on the basis of these distribution functions. A similar study of the moment-based distribution functions is also made.
