Notes:
The persistence length and effective long-range bending rigidity are derived for a discrete model of an anisotropically bending filament and shown to be independent of the torsional rigidity. The twisting persistence length is found to be independent of the anisotropic bending rigidity. Other statistical properties are briefly discussed, including the dependence of tangent vector projections on contour length. The dependence of a tensor contraction on contour length is derived for an isotropically bending filament with no equilibrium twist.
