In all used approaches, the stable profiles correspond to the minimum in the grand thermodynamic potential of the entire system consisting of a particle, a vapor interlayer, and bulk liquid. The results obtained by all three methods have been compared at the same parameters of the potential of intermolecular interaction and the interaction with particle molecules. The comparison has shown that the gradient approximation somewhat overestimates the thickness of the vapor interlayer, while being in qualitative agreement with other approaches.
