15. This is precisely analogous to the procedure used in uniform fluids with θ = 0. In that case the calculation of the inhomogeneous force field is trivial. Then the structure of the reference fluid in the presence of that (vanishing) force field is calculated using as accurate a theory as possible. See H.C. Andersen, J.D. Weeks, D. Chandler, Phys. Rev. A 4 (1971) 1597.

17. This equation is related to Eq. (11.15) in Sullivan and Stell [7], but there the physical content was less clear, since it was written in terms of the direct correlation function, and they used a specific (RHNC) integral equation closure in the derivation.
