Abstract

A continued fraction approximation is used to calculate the Random Phase Approximation (RPA) response function of nuclear matter. The convergence of the approximation is assessed by comparing it with the numerically exact response function obtained with a typical effective finite-range interaction used in nuclear physics. It is shown that just the first order term of the expansion can give reliable results at densities up to the saturation density value.
