Abstract:

Multi-particle correlations in dense plasmas are analyzed in terms of the density-functional formalism. It is proved that the higher-order correlation potentials and the bridge functions, which identically vanish in the convolution approximation (CA) and which are the neglected terms in the hypernetted chain (HNC) approximation, remain short-ranged despite the long-range nature of the Coulomb interaction.
