A generalized parametric equation of state describing the global behaviour of an Ising-like system

Abstract
The authors report a microscopic derivation of the parametric representation of the equation of state for an Ising-like system by means of the skeleton expansion technique. Such a representation explicitly describes the crossover behaviour from the small correlation length region to the critical region. The Gaussian-Ising crossover is obtained at criticality. The derivation is based on differential relations that connect natural thermodynamical variables with the parameters defining the representation. Differentiability properties are checked in the small epsilon limit.
