S y n o p s i s

A method is presented which enables one to obtain density expansions for the distribution functions for finite systems from integro-differential equations involving derivatives of these distribution functions with respect to density. I t is shown t h a t the ~tth coefficient in the density expansion is a polynomial in 1/N of degree 2. E x p l i c i t algebraic recursion relations are obtained for these coefficients. The results obtained are derived under the assumption of periodic boundary conditions and a study of this concept is given.
