    The author establishes some results concerning the relationship between the derivative of the convolution product in \(R^ 3\) of two isotropic functions, and the convolution product in \(R^ 1\) of two related functions. These results are then applied to study the Percus-Yevick equation, a nonlinear integral equation which arises in the statistical mechanical theory of the structure of liquids. See also \textit{J. K. Percus} and \textit{G. J. Yevick} [Phys. Review, II. Ser. 110, 1-13 (1958; Zbl 0096.231)], and \textit{Barker} and \textit{Henderson} [Rev. Modern Phys. 48, 587-671 (1976)].
