Abstract
The validity of the leptodermous expansion of the binding energy of nuclear systems is studied. First, a soluble model, in the one dimensional case, which is suitable for the study of such effects is briefly recalled and subsequently generalized to allow for variable nuclear compressibility. A mass formula with exponential terms which are necessary for the description of light systems is introduced. We show that the determination of its parameters does not require any new fits. They are completely determined once one allows for breakdown of the leptodermous expansion for very small systems.
