Percus Yevick

If one defines a class of diagrams by the linear combination (Eq. 5.18 Ref.1) (See G. Stell in Ref. 2)

$\left.D(r)\right.=y(r)+c(r)-g(r)$

one has the exact integral equation

The Percus-Yevick integral equation sets D(r)=0. Percus-Yevick (PY) proposed in 1958 Ref. 3

Note: the restriction $-1 < \gamma (r) \leq 1$ arising from the logarithmic term \cite{JCP_2002_116_08517}. The HNC and PY are from the age of {\it `complete ignorance'} (Martynov Ch. 6) with respect to bridge functionals. A critical look at the PY was undertaken by Zhou and Stell in \cite{JSP_1988_52_1389_nolotengoSpringer}.
