Abstract
It is well known that the virial coefficients of the pressure of thermodynamic systems can be represented in terms of graphs. The existing graph expansions are compared with a new one, the overlap graph expansion. The merits of overlap graphs in general and especially for hard disks and spheres are discussed.
