Wolfram Demonstrations Project

This Demonstration shows the paths from the southwest corner of an

square lattice to the northeast corner that do not intersect themselves. For a given lattice, the number of self-avoiding paths is greater than

, which is the number of paths containing only steps north and east, since self-avoiding paths can also take steps south and west.
