Abstract
A theory based on a density-functional formalism is developed to obtain the solvent-induced potential between different sites on a polymer. The expression found for the potential surface is not pair decomposable. The theory brings to light a new approach for deriving solute-solvent correlation functions and computation of multipoint correlation functions in fluids.Keywords
