Abstract
Classical and degenerate, strongly coupled plasmas are approached by computer simulations, analytic theories, and variational methods. Thermodynamic properties predicted in those various approaches are compared and examined; possibilities of Wigner crystallization and other instabilities are investigated. Salient features in the static and dynamic correlations are reviewed. Screening effects are analyzed and applied to calculations of the enhancement factor of the thermonuclear reaction rate and the electric resistivity in dense plasmas. Theoretical predictions on the dynamic properties are compared with the x ray and electron scattering data for the metallic electrons.
