Understanding how nanostructures are self-assembled into more complex forms is a crucial component of nanotechnology that
shall lead towards understanding other processes and structures in nature. In this paper we use a model of self-assembly using
flexible junction molecules and describe how it can in some static conditions be used to predict the outcome of a graph self-assembly.
Using probabilistic methods, we show the expectation and the variance of the number of self-assembled cycles, K
3, and discuss generalization of these results for C
n
. We tie this analysis to previously observed experimental results.
