Born‐Green‐Yvonne (BGY) equation is numerically solved to calculate pair‐correlation functions for liquid Cu, Ag, and Au utilizing the resonant model potential of Lam et al., and an experimental potential for Cu given by Rautioaho. A comparison of results with the earlier calculations of the authors based on the Percus‐Yevick (PY) equation helps to conclude that the BGY equation is at least as good as the PY equation as far as calculation of pair‐correlation functions of liquid noble metals is concerned.
