For the infinite one-dimensional coupling matrix with , its Fourier symbol is . Its inverse is nearest-neighbor even though the original interaction is not. The inverse quadratic form equals . Finite open chains add endpoint corrections; a periodized coupling gives the same translation-invariant formula.
For , the open-chain Ising model coupling , , has a tridiagonal inverse. Its endpoint diagonal entries are , its interior diagonal entries are , and adjacent off-diagonal entries are . Direct matrix multiplication verifies the inverse because the geometric sequences cancel in every interior row. The displayed quadratic form follows with , and . For , and . Omitting the endpoint term requires an infinite chain, a correctly periodized coupling, or a bulk thermodynamic limit.
