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 V\left( r \right) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ccc} \infty & ; & r < \sigma \\ - \epsilon & ; &\sigma \le r < \lambda \sigma \\ 0 & ; & r \ge \lambda \sigma \end{array} \right. }

where V(r) is the potential energy of interaction between pairs of particles, r is the distance, σ is the hard diameter and λ > 1.
