Abstract
Mean field density functional theory (MFDFT) has been employed to calculate the free energy of a pair of attractive hard rods on a ring. The results for homogeneous and optimal inhomogeneous density profiles have been compared with the exact free energy as a test of the approach. We discuss the problems in applying MFDFT to small systems and suggest modifications which allow a reasonably accurate treatment of this particular, rather extreme, case.
