Abstract

We give a set of conditions under which a system is thermodynamically self-averaging and show that several lattice models of interacting copolymers satisfy these conditions. We prove this result for a general potential which is linear in the numbers of various types of contacts, and show that this includes two potentials which have previously been used in models of random interacting linear copolymers.
