The Gibbs-Bogoliubov inequality can be used in conjunction with a trial state to give an upper bound on this quantity, while Weekes-Chandler-Andersen perturbation has been applied to Lennard-Jones fluids to give an analytic solution. Proportional to Boltzmann's constant and the natural logarithm of a system's equilibrium constant at constant volume, a system in thermal equilibrium minimizes it. Defined as the internal energy of a system minus the product of its absolute temperature and entropy, FTP name this thermodynamic potential, a free energy named for a German physicist.
