Convergence characteristics of the radial distribution function (RDF) in a condensed phase have been studied theoretically. Using a canonical ensemble, the reversible work theorem for the RDF is deduced in a new way, which interprets the reversible work in a fresh aspect. The radius of convergence of the RDF is defined. For periodic structures such as crystals, convergence of the RDF is strongly correlated...
