Abstract
Crossover scaling functions for a two-component spin system with quadratic anisotropy and cubic anisotropy are calculated to first order in and in , near the transitions within the ordered phases below the multicritical point (). Emphasis is placed on the mechanism by which the system is driven to bicritical or tetracritical behavior by the dangerous irrelevant variable . Explicit expressions and graphs for the various thermodynamic scaling functions are presented.
