12. Alternative ways of treating square-well fluids using renormalization methods include "crossover" from a simple, but rather accurate, equation of state outside the region where long-wavelength density fluctuations play a large role, with renormalization corrections, similar in accuracy to those employed above, added for the long-wavelength fluctuations, which become increasingly important, and are responsible for nonclassical universal critical exponents, near the critical point. See J. Jiang and J. M. Prausnitz, J. Chem. Phys. 111, 5964 (1999), and references cited there. Very close to the critical point it should be possible to achieve asymptotically almost exact corrections for the long wavelength density fluctuations by using more accurate renormalization methods. Two recent papers that treat crossover transformations to take one from mean field to close to critical point, accurate asymptotic behavior, are A. Kostrowicka Wyczalkowska, M. A. Anisimov, and J. V. Sengers, Fluid Phase Equilibria 158-160, 523 (1999), and M. A. Anisimov, E. Luijten, V. A. Agayan, J. V. Sengers, and K. Binder, Phys. Lett. A 264, 63 (1999).
