## Abstract

We present comparative results from simulations of a lattice and an off-lattice model of a homopolymer, in the context of kinetics of the collapse transition. Scaling laws related to the collapse time, cluster coarsening and aging behavior are compared. Although in both models the cluster growth is independent of temperature, the related exponents turn out to be different. Conversely, the aging and associated scaling properties are found to be universal, with the nonequilibrium autocorrelation exponent obeying a recently derived bound.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
