The collapse transition in a single polymer with modified Lennard Jones intersegmental interaction is considered. After defining the appropriate state variables, the equation of state of the system is derived by straightforward statistical mechanics. From approximate numerical solutions for the radial distribution function g(R), it is possible to reproduce the collapse transition observed experimentally.
