Abstract
We discuss the strategy of determining properties of manyβbody systems by applying successively more stringent limitations on the domain on which solutions can lie, i.e., sharpening the degree of resolution of the results obtained. A rough division is made into universal, or systemβindependent inequalities and systemβdependent ones, which are joined by equalities or sum rules. General examples include Fermion ground states and classical fluids in thermal equilibrium, and for the latter, the effect of estimation by saturating inequalities. Β© 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A recently proposed statistical theory of the mean fields associated with the ground and excited collective states of a generic many-body system is extended by increasing the dimensions of the Pspace. In applying the new framework to nuclear matter, in addition to the mean field energies we obtain t
