The existence of the dielectric constant epsilon is investigated for fluids composed of classical deformable (polarizable) molecules. The development is based upon generalized functional-derivative relations which involve joint distributions in molecular positions r/sub k/ and dipole moments ..mu../sub k/. Sufficient conditions for the existence of epsilon are expressed in terms of the generalized direct correlation function c(12) = c(r/sub 1/, ..mu../sub 1/; r/sub 2/, ..mu../sub 2/). It is found that epsilon exists if -kTc(12) depends only on relative positions and dipole moment directions (in addition to Vertical Bar..mu../sub 1/Vertical Bar and Vertical Bar..mu../sub 2/Vertical Bar), and becomes asymptotic to the …
