Abstract
The applicability of the coherent-anomaly method (CAM) to series expansions is checked using test functions and the critical exponents γ for the Ising models are estimated by this method. Among three canonical series studied here, the Padé series and the continued-fraction series are most effective in their convergence and the accuracy of estimation. There are some functions which are difficult to analyze with the power-series CAM. Our estimate for γ of the three-dimensional Ising model is 1.246. This value is higher than the latest results obtained by means of other methods taking into account the correction-to-scaling term.
