Direct correlation function

The direct correlation function, 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 c(1,2)} is encountered in the Ornstein-Zernike relation, i.e.

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 h({\mathbf r}) - c({\mathbf r}) = \rho \int h({\mathbf r'})~c(|{\mathbf r} - {\mathbf r'}|) {\rm d}{\mathbf r'}}

and also in the compressibility equation, i.e.
