Abstract
We discuss and illustrate through numerical examples the relations between generating functionals, thermodynamic consistency (in particular the virial-free energy one), and uniqueness of the solution, in the integral equation theory of liquids. We propose a new approach for deriving closures automatically satisfying such characteristics. Results from a first exploration of this program are presented and discussed.
