Abstract

The solution of the Ornstein-Zernike equation with Yukawa closure [c(r)=\(\sum\limits_i {K_i e^{ - z_i (r - 1)} /r} \) forr>1] is generalized for an arbitrary number of Yukawas, using the Fourier transform technique introduced by Baxter. Full equivalence to the results of Waisman, Høye, and Stell is proved for the case of a single Yukawa. Finally, a convenient form of the Laplace transform ofg(s) is found, which can be easily inverted to give a stepwise, rapidly converging series forg(r).
