Reformulation of liquid perturbation theory for low temperatures.
A perturbation strategy is proposed which allows liquid perturbation methodology to be applied to extremely low temperature situations for which the available liquid integral equation theory and traditional thermodynamic perturbation theory fail. The possibility of avoiding the low temperature problem of the thermodynamic perturbation theory not only is of relevance to the investigation of complex fluids, but also may be useful for reformulation of other liquid theories to achieve higher accuracy and avoid the respective low temperature problems.
