High-density equation of state for a lattice gas

Abstract:
For the lattice gas models of arbitrary geometry and dimensions with absolute repulsion between particles at zero distance (a hard core identical to a single lattice site) and arbitrary repulsion or attraction at other distances, the "hole-particle" symmetry of the system potential energy has been stated and an equation of state has been derived on the basis of the classical Gibbs statistics. The equation is completely analogous to the well-known virial equation of state, except that it is more accurate at high-density states, while the virial equation has the low-density limitation. Both equations contain the common set of the so-called irreducible integrals, related to the corresponding virial coefficients, and can be used together to describe the behavior of a lattice gas in a wide range of densities.
