Abstract
A method is presented for the improved calculation of super-shell partition functions which include the repulsive electron-electron interaction energy terms in the Boltzmann factor. Heretofore these interaction terms were approximately treated via the use of Feynman-Jensen inequalities. Such investigations are of particular interest for the super-transition-array approach of hot-plasma radiative opacity.
