The simplest Kondo problem is treated exactly in the ferromagnetic case, and given exact bounds for the relevant physical properties in the antiferromagnetic case, by use of a scaling technique on an asymptotically exact expression for the ground-state properties given earlier. The theory also solves the n=2 case of the one-dimensional Ising problem. The ferromagnetic case has a finite spin, while the antiferromagnetic case has no truly singular T→0 properties (e.g., it has finite χ).
