We turn the long time puzzle of the free volume, known for its highly irregular form, into exact analytical formulae and develop statistical mechanics of the hard disk model. The free volume is exactly expressed in terms of the intersection…

The freezing transition of hard spheres has been well described by various versions of density-functional theory (DFT). These theories should possess the close-packed crystal as a special limit, which represents an extreme testing ground…

Debye-H\"{u}ckel theory, originally developed to describe dilute electrolyte solutions, has proved particularly successful as a description of magnetic monopoles in spin ice systems such as Dy$_{2}$Ti$_{2}$O$_{7}$. For this model, Ryzhkin…

The structural properties of additive binary hard-sphere mixtures are addressed as a follow-up of a previous paper [S. Pieprzyk et al., Phys. Rev. E 101, 012117 (2020)]. The so-called rational-function approximation method and an approach…

The fluid and solid equations of state for hard parallel squares and cubes are reinvestigated here over a wide range of densities. We use a novel single-speed version of molecular dynamics. Our results are compared with those from earlier…

For a nonlinear system of coupled PDEs, that describes evolution of a viscous thin liquid sheet and takes account of surface tension at the free surface, we show exponential $(H^1,\,L^2)$ asymptotic decay to the flat profile of its…
