Abstract

A renormalization group transformation is introduced with the help of which critical properties of infinite systems can be related to finite systems. As a numerical example the method is applied to the two-dimensional Ising model. The critical point and critical point exponent are computed in addition to the amplitude of the logarithmic singularity in the specific heat.
