Abstract With a view to calculating the incompressibility $$\ddot \sigma $$ of the nuclear surface, we develop a constrained Hartree-Fock treatment of semi-infinite nuclear matter. Our approach leads first to a proof of the “ $$\dot \sigma = 0$$ ” theorem of Myers and Swiatecki, and then to a corroboration of a simple expression for $$\ddot \sigma $$ , previously obtained in an intuitive way by Stocker. This expression is used to calculate $$\ddot \sigma $$ for theS3, SkM and Gogny forces. The results are significantly different from those of a scaled HF calculation, but in very good agreement with the values of $$\ddot \sigma $$ that are implied by RPA calculations of the breathing mode in various finite nuclei.
