Abstract

By starting from the formal expansion of the matrix elements ofz=exp [x+λy] in powers of thec-number λ, a general algorithm is derived, for the expansion of the partition function of a lattice system with nearest-neighbour interaction. This is applied to the calculation of the free energy of a spin-1/2 Hamiltonian up to the fourth perturbative order.
