Using a Kubo formula and the Suzuki identities, expressions are derived for the initial perpendicular susceptibilities /sub X perpendicular to/ of the transverse spin-S Ising and spin-S Blume-Capel models on regular and irregular lattices. /sub X perpendicular to/ is given in terms of the thermal average of a function of the peripheral sum O/sub i/ = ..sigma../sub j/J/sub ij/S/sub j/, where coupling to distant neighbors may be included, as well as arbitrary local parallel magnetic fields h/sub j/. For the Ising model on a Bravais lattice, e.g., the susceptibility is given by. /sub X perpendicular to/ = Nm/sub 2/S/sup -2/ where B/sub S/ is the Brillouin function. For S = 1/2, the formula of Fisher and the results of Horiguchi and Morita are regained. A connection is made with the general-spin work of Essam and Garelick.
