Abstract
The finite-size scaling of Fisher and Barber is extended to infinitely coordinated systems. Near and for a large number of elements , a critical quantity behaves as with . An argument gives , where is the mean-field coherence-length exponent and the upper critical dimensionality of the corresponding short-range system. This is checked on spin systems at and on the Ising- quantum spin system in a transverse field at for which calculations are reported.
