WINIMAX approximation and its application to the thermal properties of a Debye lattice

The WINIMAX method is used to expand the thermodynamic functions of a Debye oscillator in a finite series as a function of (theta/sub D//T)/sup 2j/. The series is valid for all values of theta/sub D//T. Comparisons are made with the MINIMAX expansion, the Sack, Maradudin, and Weiss method and exact calculations. The WINIMAX method gives the exact value of each of the thermodynamic functions for any order polynomial.
