in which additional functions <math>g_{1}(r), \, g_{2}(r)</math> appear which may depend on temperature <math>T</math> and distance <math>r</math> but not on density, <math>\rho</math>.

Given a [[potential energy]] function, the radial distribution function can be found via computer simulation methods like the [[MoteMonte Carlo method]]. It could also be calculated numerically using rigourous methods obtained from [[statistical mechanics]] like the [[Perckus-Yevick approximation]].
