"For sufficiently distant potentials, the modified canonical ensemble can be accurately approximated using the reference system (the isotensional ensemble) and an asymptotic correction. The potential is considered sufficiently distant when the length of center of the potential well to the end of the chain experiencing it is much larger than the expected end-to-end length of the chain. This disparity in length is only typically possible considering weak potentials. For example, if $\\eta/N_b\\varpi$ is the nondimensional potential distance, the nondimensional end-to-end length per link $\\gamma$ as a function of the effective nondimensional potential force $\\eta$ is approximated as\n",
"This exact relation is plotted below along with the asymptotic relation while varying $\\varpi$, the nondimensional potential stiffness. As $\\varpi$ decreases and/or the nondimensional force $\\eta$ increases (the nondimensional potential distance $\\eta/N_b\\varpi$ increases), the asymptotic approach appears to do increasingly well. Notably, the asymptoic approach appears to succeed for sufficiently distance potentials for any value of $\\varpi$. This is because the freely-jointed chain model has inextensible links, so even a stiff potential that is distant ($\\eta/N_b\\varpi\\gg 1$) will not stretch the chain past $\\gamma=1$. For chain models which have extensible links, the link stiffness will compete with the potential stiffness, such that the potential would need to be weak ($\\varpi\\ll 1$) in addition to distant ($\\eta/N_b\\varpi\\gg 1$) in order for the asymptotic approach to become accurate."
