The density fluctuations of one-dimensional Lennard-Jones systems are investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. The full Lennard-Jones potential is compared to the repulsive Lennard-Jones potential. It is found that the behavior of the density fluctuations at small wave vectors is determined by the repulsive portion of the potential. The variation of the fluctuations with density is explained. It is shown that these systems do not display hydrodynamics.
