Abstract

A study is made of the statistical mechanics of classical lattice spin systems with finite-range interactions in two dimensions. By means of a decimation procedure, a finite-size condition is given for the convergence of a cluster expansion that is believed to be useful for treating the range of temperature between the critical oneT c and the estimated thresholdT 0 of convergence of the usual high-temperature expansion.
