Abstract
The methods of Williams,Doman and Williams,and Doman and Habeeb are used to describe the ground state properties of infinite ferromagnetic Ising chains in a random field.Analytic results for the ground state energy,the magnetisation per spin in the direction of the local field and the entropy as a function of magnetic field are obtained. When the probability factor of the zero local field is zero,our results are in agreement with thut obtained previously by Williams. terminators.A terminator could be defined as the simplest group of spins whose direction is indepen- dent of that of its neighbours,but depends on the value of the magnetic field.The behaviour of the system is now dominated by these subchains and so we take into account all possible configurations for such subchains.The idea of superspins and superb- onds introduced by Williams(1981)and applied later to examine the properties of many Ising
