In this paper, we study the one-dimensional long-range Ising model with a s
pin-spin interaction that decays as 1/r(1+sigma) using the mean-field renor
malization group. The critical coupling K-c and critical exponents y(t) and
y(h) are computed using cluster sizes of up to sixteen spins. We then appl
y the alternating-alpha VBS (Vanden Broeck-Schwartz) transformation to acce
lerate the convergence of results for different cluster sizes.
