Abstract
It is shown that the free-energy density of a large class of ferromagnets satisfying the Lee-Yang property is to be connected with the limit characteristic function of a suitably renormalized sum of independent and non-identically distributed random variables. Using the canonical representation formulae of such characteristic functions, various chains of inequalities are derived for the Ursell functions.
