This study has led to two main conclusions. First, fractional derivation can be used to calculate the average end‐to‐end distance of a polymeric chain as precisely as other existing computational techniques. Second, knowledge of the changes in the molecular characteristics of a polymeric chain is needed for the correct calculation of the indicated parameters. In other words, one should take into consideration the dynamics when the structure of a macromolecular coil is varied. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 3765–3768, 2004
