'''Classical-map Hyper-Netted-Chain''' ('''CHNC''') technique is a method in many-body theoretical physics for interacting uniform [[electron liquid]]s in two and three dimensions, and to interacting [[hydrogen plasmas]]. The method extends the famous hyper-netted-chain

method (HNC) introduced by van Leeuwen et al.<ref>J. M. J. van Leeuwen, J. Groenveld, J. de Boer: Physica '''25''', 792 (1959)</ref> to [[quantum fluid]]s as well. The classical HNC, together with the Percus-Yevik (PY) equation, are the two pillars which bear the brunt of most calculations in the theory of interacting [[classical fluids]]. Also, HNC and PY have become important in providing basic reference schemes in the theory of fluids<ref> R. Balescu, ''Equilibrium and Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics'' (Wiley 1975) p257-277 </ref>, and hence they are of great importance to the physics of many-particle systems.
