n-Vicinity Method for Ising Model with Long-Range Interaction

The previously developed n-vicinity method [ 3 ] allows us to calculate accurately critical values of inverse temperatures for Ising models with short-range interaction. We generalize the method to the case of long-range interactions in spin systems and obtain theoretical formulas for the inverse temperatures in terms of the spin interaction constants. The comparison of our theoretical estimates with computer simulations for the two- and three-dimensional Ising models shows that the larger the dimension of the problem the better their agreement.
