Abstract
An asymptotic expansion for the Helmholtz free energy of a system of hard squares of side is obtained, with the result where is Boltzmann's constant, is the mean thermal de Broglie wavelength, and is the ratio of the system area to the close‐packed area. A formal expression is derived for the constant , while , , ··· are the coefficients in the expansion of in powers of . The modified cell‐cluster technique is used to evaluate , with the result .
