Modification of renormalization group analysis of the theory of OHTA and OONO permits to describe dilute and semi‐dilute polymer solutions in a unified way in a wide z region. Osmotic compressibility represented as a function of reduced concentration weakly depends on z in agreement with experimental observations by Wiltzius et al.
