Abstract
The Ising model with a transverse field for a general spin S is investigated within the framework of the Green function method in the paramagnetic region at T=O. The analysis of self-consistent equations gives a description of soft-mode phase transitions as well as extrapolated values of the critical fields and critical energy gap exponents.
