Abstract
The mathematical ideas underlying the graph theoretic approach to the equilibrium theory of classical fluids are treated from an elementary point of view. The emphasis is placed on modern developments based on the techniques of functional differentiation and topological reduction. The aim is to provide the non-expert reader with a mathematical guide to recent papers which employ graph theoretic methods, particularly to those dealing with perturbation theory.
