The Helmholtz energy functional (which was introduced in the section about the [Euler-Lagrange equation](euler_lagrange_equation.md)) then reads

$$ F[\mathbf{\rho}(\mathbf{r})]=\int\left(f(\mathbf{\rho})+\sum_{ij}\frac{c_{ij}(\rho)}{2}\nabla\rho_i\cdot\nabla\rho_j\right)\mathrm{d}\mathbf{r}$$
$$ F[\mathbf{\rho}(\mathbf{r})]=\int\left(f(\mathbf{\rho})+\sum_{ij}\frac{c_{ij}(\mathbf{\rho})}{2}\nabla\rho_i\cdot\nabla\rho_j\right)\mathrm{d}\mathbf{r}$$

$$ \beta c_{ij}(\rho)=-\sum_{\alpha\beta}\frac{\partial^2\Phi}{\partial n_\alpha\partial n_\beta}\left(\omega_\alpha^{i2}\omega_\beta^{j0}+ \omega_\alpha^{i0}\omega_\beta^{j2}\right).$$
$$ \beta c_{ij}(\mathbf{\rho})=-\sum_{\alpha\beta}\frac{\partial^2\Phi}{\partial n_\alpha\partial n_\beta}\left(\omega_\alpha^{i2}\omega_\beta^{j0}+ \omega_\alpha^{i0}\omega_\beta^{j2}\right).$$

and the local Helmholtz energy density $f(\mathbf{\rho})$.



For pure components, as derived in the original publication, the surface tension can be calculated from the surface excess grand potential per area according to

$$ \gamma=\frac{F-\mu N+pV}{A}=\int_{\rho^\mathrm{V}}^{\rho^\mathrm{L}} \sqrt{\frac{c}{2} \left(f(\rho)-\rho\mu+p\right) } d\rho $$
$$ \gamma=\frac{F-\mu N+pV}{A}=\int_{\rho^\mathrm{V}}^{\rho^\mathrm{L}} \sqrt{2c \left(f(\rho)-\rho\mu+p\right) } d\rho $$


Thus, no iterative solver is necessary to calculate the surface tension of pure components, which is a major advantage of pDGT. Finally, the density profile can be calculated from
