The Pearson walk model of a linear polymer with excluded volume is studied by analogy with a neighbor-avoiding walk on a lattice. The pivot algorithm is used to model the excluded volume directly, with the strength of interaction controlled by bead diameter. The excluded volume per bead is shown to be nonanalytic, with two distinct excluded volume regimes corresponding to geometrically different polymer models.
