Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The external potential needed to produce an arbitrary equilibrium density profile for a one-dimensional lattice gas with nearest neighbor interactions is solved exactly. The resulting sequence of direct correlation functions is shown to be of short range, and in the ferromagnetic case the even members alternate in sign at zero spin. The even Ursell distributions in this case likewise alternate in sign.
