Abstract
Universal relations among critical amplitudes of surface quantities are discussed for d-dimensional semi-infinite systems near their bulk critical temperature ${T}_{c}^{b}$. Based on the field-theoretic renormalization-group approach, a general derivation of the expected multi-scale-factor universality is given and various universal ratios involving critical amplitudes of the ordinary and special transitions both above and below ${T}_{c}^{b}$ are calculated to first order in \ensuremath{\epsilon}=4-d. In addition, an error in the published one-loop result for the universal order-parameter profile at the ordinary transition of the semi-infinite Ising model is corrected.
