Abstract
System of electrons on the liquid helium surface is considered. General methods for obtaining free energy functional for the systems in mean field approximation are developed. These methods applied for treating systems with particles arranged in a lattice. Thus obtained functional of free energy is analyzed. The localization distance for electron and conditions for existing square or triangular lattices as well as phase transition between them are obtained.
