Structure of the Density Matrices in the Cluster Variation Method

Tomoyasu Tanaka, Kouzi Hirose, Kenpou Kurati

Two of the formulations of the cluster variation method are compared. The Heisenberg model of ferromagnetism in four-spin approximation is used as a working example. The numerical results obtained are used in the CAM analysis and an improved critical temperature is found. Formulations of the cluster variation method in the momentum space are also reviewed briefly.

General Structure of the Distribution Functions for the Heisenberg Model and the Ising Model

Tohru Morita

The general structure for the distribution functions (reduced density matrices) for systems composed of a number of elements is given by taking the variation with respect to the distribution functions in the formalism of the cluster variation method. The parameters or the Lagrange multipliers occurring in the distribution functions must be determined by the reducibility condition of the distribution functions or by the stationariness condition of the free energy.
