Coherent-Anomaly Method Calculation on the Cluster Variation Method. I
Koh Wada, Naotosi Watanabe
Abstract
On the basis of the coherent-anomaly method (CAM) proposed by Suzuki, the static and dynamic critical exponents of the Ising model in the triangle and the square lattice are calculated using the cluster variation method (CVM) and the path probability method (PPM) devised by Kikuchi within analytical tractable approximations. The values of critical temperatures and critical exponents estimated from three approximations with different levels are generally reasonable. The two-dimensional results are also compared with those of the simple cubic lattice.
