We discuss the scattering function of a Gaussian random polygon with N nodes under a given topological constraint through simulation. We evaluate the form factor P-K(q) of a Gaussian polygon of N=200 having a fixed knot K for some different knots such as the trivial, trefoil, and figure-eight knots. Here the Gaussian polygons with different knots K have distinct values of the mean-square radius of gyration, R-G,K(2). We obtain the Kratky plots of the form factors-i.e., the plots of (qR(G,K))P-2(K)(q) versus qR(G,K)-for the different topological constraints and discuss nontrivial large-q behavior as well as small-q behavior for the scattering functions. We also find that the distinct values of R-G,K(2) play an important role in the large-q and small-q properties of the Kratky plots.
