Notes on the delta-expansion approach to the 2D Ising susceptibility scaling

Abstract

We study the scaling of the magnetic susceptibility in the square Ising model based upon the delta-expansion in the high temperature phase. The susceptibility chi is expressed in terms of the mass M and expanded in powers of 1/M. The dilation around M=0 by the delta expansion and the parametric extension of the ratio of derivatives of chi, chi^{(ell+1)}/chi^{(ell)} is used as a test function for the estimation of the critical exponent gamma with no bias from information of the critical temperature. Estimation is done with the help of the principle of minimum sensitivity and detailed analysis revealed that ell=0,1 cases provide us accurate estimation results. Critical exponent of the sub-leading scaling term is also estimated.
