Abstract
We present the complete (nonlinear) solution for the response of a system of living polymers to an arbitrary thermodynamic
perturbation of its equilibrium polymer size distribution. Our result are relevant for the interpretation of T-jump experiments
on wormlike micelles in the concentrated regime, where very large perturbations to the equilibrium size distribution can be
easily obtained.
