Abstract

An approximate relationship is developed between the density profile of a simple classical fluid bounded by a soft wall and that bounded by an idealized hard wall. This relationship is exact for a class of one-dimensional fluids, and also constitutes a simplification of the "shielding approximation." It accurately reproduces several Monte Carlo calculations.
