20. The question whether to include the self-contribution into the density approximation (18) has been a controversial one also in the related Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method (Ref. 21) (see, for example, Refs. 22 and 23 for the two opposite points of view on this issue). Many authors choose to include the self-contribution, because in practice it may give better results due to partial (and totally uncontrolled) compensation of the error caused by particle correlations. That is pragmatic solution, only necessary if nothing else is done to improve upon Eq. (18). In this paper we develop a scheme providing a much better local-density approximation accuracy for strongly nonideal systems, hence we choose to exclude the self-contribution for consistency, so that the original MDPD local density approximation is accurate at least under the assumption (of no particle correlations) used by Pagonabarraga and Frenkel (Refs. 13, 14).
