Notes:
The functional methods developed by Yvon, Bogoliubov, Lebowitz, and Percus in the theory of fluids are applied to the derivation of new integral equations for dense fluids with an a priori knowledge of their range of validity in some sense. In particular, we find conditions in order that the resulting radial distribution function contains, at least, all the diagrams in the density (n) expansion up to order n2, n3,..., and present a method to obtain systematic corrections to familiar approximations such as the Percus–Yevick and the hypernetted-chains equations.
