Abstract

In the present paper, we study general methods of solving the Ornstein-Zernike equation to find out what refinements are to be introduced into these equations for them to describe properties of liquids not only in the regular domain of the phase diagram but also in a neighborhood of the critical point. This approach enabled us to obtain, by using the Ornstein-Zernike equation, practically all known results of scaling theory and to establish some specific features of critical phenomena that were not known earlier.
