Classical Density Functional Theory: Representability and Universal Bounds

Mathematical Physics 2023-03-29 v2 Statistical Mechanics math.MP

Abstract

We provide upper and lower bounds on the lowest free energy of a classical system at given one-particle density ρ(x)\rho(x). We study both the canonical and grand-canonical cases, assuming the particles interact with a pair potential which decays fast enough at infinity.
