We study the finite size corrections for the magnetization and the internal energy of the 2d Ising model in a magnetic field by using transfer matrix techniques. We compare these corrections with the functional form recently proposed by Delfino and LeClair-Mussardo for the finite temperature behaviour of one-point functions in integrable 2d quantum field theories. We find a perfect agreement between theoretical expectations and numerical results. Assuming the proposed functional form as an input in our analysis we obtain a relevant improvement in the precision of the continuum limit estimates of both quantities.
The finite-size corrections in exact diagonalization studies of the one- and two-dimensional Hubbard model can be reduced systematically by a grand-canonical integration over boundary conditions. We present results for ground-state properties of the two-dimensional (2D) Hubbard model and an evaluation of the specific heat for the 1D and 2D Hubbard model. We find the reduction of the finite-size corrections to be substantial, especially in two dimensions. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
