In some recent theories of the equation of state of classical ionized systems, the free energy depends on integrals of the form {integral}{sub 0}{sup {infinity}}[e{sup -{beta}V{sub s}}-1+{beta}V{sub s}-{beta}{sup 2}V{sub s}{sup 2}/2]r{sup 2}dr, where V{sub s} is a "screened" potential obtained from the real potential by summing certain infinite series of diagrams. This integral has been tabulated for V{sub s} appropriate to a potential {+-}(e{sup 2}/ r)(1 - e{sup -{gamma}r}). The equation of state is also given for a one-component electron gas in a uniform background of positive charge (limit{gamma}{approaches}{infinity})
