Singular value decomposition of the radial distribution function for hard sphere and square well potentials.
We compute the singular value decomposition of the radial distribution function g(r) for hard sphere, and square well solutions. We find that g(r) decomposes into a small set of basis vectors allowing for an extremely accurate representation at all interpolated densities and potential strengths. In...
