Abstract
We investigate low- and high-temperature properties of the ferromagnetic Ising model of infinite-spin. By using the cummulant expansion methods, we obtain low-temperature expansions of the free energy, the specific heat, the spontaneous magnetization, the zero-field susceptibility and so on, and high-temperature expansions of the free energy and the zero-field susceptibility. We compare the results with those obtained by Thompson for the system on the one-dimensional lattice, with those by using Monte Carlo simulations for the systems on the square lattice and on the simple cubic lattice and with those with the aid of the mean-field approximation.
