Abstract
A transformation of the Ornstein–Zernike relation for fluid mixtures is derived which involves the direct and indirect correlation functions only over the ranges within which the former are nonzero. Also, two closed expressions for the compressibility pressure in the Percus–Yevick (PY) approximation for mixtures are presented. The analytic solution of the PY approximation for mixtures of hard spheres follows immediately, and it is expected that the results should be of use in numerical calculations for systems with short‐range forces, where the direct correlation functions normally tend rapidly to zero with increasing particle separation.

Approximation Methods in Classical Statistical Mechanics

TL;DR: In this paper, the pair distribution function for a classical fluid in thermal equilibrium is found to be more closely approximated by the Percus and Yevick (Phys. Rev., 110: 1(1958)) approximation than by the Bogoliubov-Born-Green- Kirkwood-Yvon (B.G.K.H.) approximation or the hypernetted chain approximation.

Ornstein-Zernike relation for a disordered fluid

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the direct correlation function c(r) vanishes beyond a range R, then a third function Q(r), which is related to c and h (r) by equations that involve the functions only over the range (O,R), can be introduced.
