On extrapolation of virial coefficients of hard spheres    [PDF]

M. Oncák, A. Malijevský, J. Kolafa, S. Labík
Several methods of extrapolating the virial coefficients, including those proposed in this work, are discussed. The methods are demonstrated on predicting higher virial coefficients of one-component hard spheres. Estimated values of the eleventh to fifteenth virial coefficients are suggested. It has been speculated that the virial coefficients, B_n, beyond B_{14} may decrease with increasing n, and may reach negative values at large n. The extrapolation techniques may be utilized in other fields of science where the art of extrapolation plays a role.
