title: Contact conditions for the charge in the theory of the electrical double layer.
abstract: In this paper, from the Born-Green-Yvon equations of the liquid-state theory, we derive a general expression for the charge-density contact value at charged interfaces. This relation is discussed, in particular, for symmetrical electrolytes. We emphasize an essential coupling between the electric properties and the density profile. Limiting behavior at small and large charges at the interface is discussed.
