The method of collective variables: a link with the density functional theory

Abstract

Recently, based on the method of collective variables the statistical field theory for multicomponent inhomogeneous systems was formulated [O. Patsahan, I. Mryglod, J.-M. Caillol, Journal of Physical Studies, 2007, 11, 133]. In this letter we establish a link between this approach and the classical density functional theory for inhomogeneous fluids.
