Canonical sequence method applied to a two-dimensional spin system

Abstract

A number of years ago, Horn and Weinstein introduced a novel nonperturbative method, the t-expansion, for calculating ground-state expectation values for Hamiltonian systems. Recently Samaj et al. have generalized the t-expansion technique and the related connected moments expansion to a more general canonical sequence. In the present work we have expounded upon this work and have applied this to the two-dimensional square anisotropic XXZ Heisenberg model.
