Rational-function approximation for fluids interacting via piece-wise constant potentials

The structural properties of fluids whose molecules interact via potentials with a hard-core plus n piece-wise constant sections of different widths and heights are derived using a (semi-analytical) rational-function approximation method. The results are illustrated for the cases of a square-shoulde...
