Tarazona's weighted density approximation
- Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle A_{\mathrm {hard~sphere} }^{\mathrm {excess} }[\rho ({\mathbf {r} })]=\int \rho ({\mathbf {r} })a_{\mathrm {excess} }[{\overline {\rho }}({\mathbf {r} })]{\mathrm {d} }{\mathbf {r} }}
where A is the Helmholtz energy function.
