Abstract
Computer experiments can now be used to locate the melting transition for idealized particles which interact according to any specified force law. The results of such computer experiments can then be compared with the predictions of approximate melting theories. We review the computer results obtained for some simple force laws in order to illustrate the successes and limitations of the theories.Keywords
