Self-consistent integral equations

Here, we propose to give an overview of the present status of the applications of self-consistent integral equation theories (SCIETs) aimed to predict the properties of simple fluids and of some real systems that require pair and many-body interactions. We will not therefore be concerned with a number of attempts that have been achieved by various authors to extend the IETs approach to fluids with quantum effects, either with several existing studies of specific systems, as, for example, liquid metals, whose treatment yields a modification of the IETs formalism. Our attention will be restricted to simple fluid models, whose description is, however, an essential step to be reached before investigating more complex systems.

On the other hand, the good agreement found between HMSA and the MD attests that the self-consistent integral equation, and its extension to the...
