Talk:Patterson function

Can any one add which Patterson is responsible for this function...? -- User:Stillnotelf from 152.2.49.238 15:21, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

electron density convolved with its inverse??
Isn't it rather electron density convolved with the electron density at a point displaced by the vector u?

The formula presented is
 * $$P(\vec{u}) = \rho(\vec{r}) * \rho(-\vec{r})$$

but how can we have $$\vec{r}$$ on the right hand and $$\vec{u}$$ on the left hand side? Shouldn't it rather be:
 * $$P(\vec{u}) = \rho(\vec{r}) * \rho(\vec{r}+\vec{u})$$?
