The | The hyper-netted chain (HNC) equation has a clear physical basis in the Kirkwood superposition approximation (Ref. 1). The hyper-netted chain approximation is obtained by omitting the elementary clusters, <math>E(r)</math>, in the exact convolution equation for <math>g(r)</math>. The hyper-netted chain approximation was developed almost simultaneously by various | ||

The hyper-netted chain approximation is well suited for long-range potentials, and in particular, Coulombic systems. For details of the numerical solution of the HNC for ionic systems (see Ref. 12). | |||
