“…The DHH value is very close to that, u DHH (2) ≃ −0.29324, while the DH value is considerably below the exact one, u DH (2) ≃ −0.57721. In the strongly coupled regime Γ ≫ 1, the DHH approximation yields the correct scaling u ex ∝ Γ, but the coefficient of For the 3D case, symbols are the results from numerical MC [14,15] and MD [11,12] 2D). In Figure 2 we compare the energies obtained using the DHH approach with those obtained using Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations.…”
