The Ballone-Pastore-Galli-Gazillo (BPGG) (1986) (Eq. 3.8 Ref. 1) closure relation, developed for mixtures of hard spheres, is given by

B(r)=\left[ 1+s\gamma \left( r\right) \right] ^{1/s}-1-\gamma \left(r\right)

where s = 15 / 8. It has its origins in the Martynov-Sarkisov closure (s = 2). The value of s can be determined by a self-consistency condition. Notice that for s = 1 the BPGG approximation reduces to the hyper-netted chain closure.
