The virial equation of state is used to describe the behavior of diluted gases. It is usually written as an expansion of the compressibility factor, Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Z } , in terms of either the density or the pressure. Such an expansion was first introduced in 1885 by Thiesen [1] and extensively studied by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes [2] [3], and mathematically by Ursell [4]. One has

Convergence[edit]
For a commentary on the convergence of the virial equation of state see [6] and section 3 of [7].
Quantum virial coefficients[edit]
Using the path integral formulation one can also calculate the virial coefficients of quantum systems [8].
