Abstract

This paper thoroughly investigates the analysis of a modified generalized mean-field Ising model. The thermodynamic limit of free energy is investigated, and both the upper and lower bounds are derived. The lower bound is derived using a standard entropic variational principle, whereas a decoupling method is employed to derive the upper bound. Although the two bounds differ in form, they exhibit the same local maxima. Finally, the impact of a slight external field on the magnetic order is analyzed.
