Abstract
In this paper, we study the one-dimensional long-range Ising model with a spin-spin interaction that decays as 1/ r 1+σ using the mean-field renormalization group. The critical coupling K c and critical exponents y t and y h are computed using cluster sizes of up to sixteen spins. We then apply the alternating-alpha VBS (Vanden Broeck-Schwartz) transformation to accelerate the convergence of results for different cluster sizes.
