Abstract
Generalized nuclidic mass relationships represent a link between mass equations and mass relationships. They are partial difference equations which can be used recursively. The quality of mass predictions, particularly for very neutron-rich or proton-rich nuclei, depends essentially on our knowledge of the effective neutron-proton interaction . The transverse and longitudinal mass relationships of Garvey and Kelson which are special cases contain small systematic errors due to the assumed independence of on the neutron excess or the nucleon number. Information about the dependence of on and has been extracted from the experimental masses by a variety of tests and was found in partial disagreement with macroscopic and microscopic theories. Several procedure have been devised to test theoretical expressions for for their compatibility and consistency with the experimental masses.
