Abstract
The systematic Weiss-like and Bethe-like approximations based on the mean-field transfer-matrix method are used to investigate the asymptotic behavior of the induced magnetization on a semi-infinite square lattice, and to investigate the wave-number dependence of the susceptibility in a nonuniform external field. The critical exponents ν, ν', η i and η are estimated following the general CAM prescription. A new scaling relation ν·η i =γ is obtained in the framework of the finite-degree-of-approximation scaling. Together with previous papers, all the static critical exponents have been estimated by the CAM, and are shown to satisfy the well-known scaling relations.
