A Lower Bound on the Partition Function for a Strictly Neutral Charge-Symmetric System

  • 1. The University of Texas at Austin, McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering (United States)

Description

A lower bound on the grand partition function of a classical charge-symmetric system is adapted to the neutral grand canonical ensemble, in which the system is constrained to have zero total charge. This constraint permits us to consider two-body potentials that are only conditionally positive definite.
