Entropic sampling method within Wang-Landau algorithm is used for
simulation of lattice models of linear polymer chains and 6-arm star-shaped
polymers. The semi-phantom (i.e. nonreversal) random walk on 3D simple cubic
lattice is used as a reference system. The densities of states are obtained and on their
basis the temperature dependences of internal energy, heat capacity, entropy and
mean square radius of gyration are calculated. Results for stars are compared with
data for linear chains.
