The critical behaviour of directed self-avoiding walks is studied on parabolic-like systems with a free boundary at x=+or-Ctalpha . Using a scaling argument, 1/C is shown to be a marginal variable when alpha =vperpendicular to /v//=1/2, i.e. on a parabola. As a consequence the directed walk may display varying local exponents. Such a behaviour is indeed observed for restricted walks. This generalizes a result of Cardy (1983) showing that non-universal behaviour occurs at corners for isotropic systems. |
