Abstract
Cluster generalization of the CPA method, based on the variational calculation of the alloy thermodynamic potential, is considered. Various possible choices of the variational parameters are discussed. One of them leads to an approximation that is analogous to the Bethe approximation for the Ising model. The technique developed is applied to the calculation of the density of states in the Ni1-cCuc alloy by the LMTO-ASA method.
