For a fluid of particles, enclosed in a volume at a given temperature (canonical ensemble) interacting via the `central' intermolecular pair potential , the two particle distribution function is defined as
where , where is the Boltzmann constant.
Exact convolution equation for
See Eq. 5.10 of Ref. 1:
where, i.e. .
