Utilizing the grand canonical partition function as well as the cumulant summation formula, we consider a systematic approximation scheme for a strongly correlated fermion system. As an example, we investigate the single-impurity Anderson model. We are motivated by the fact that for this model there are physical aspects to the approximations used that are simply understood. In particular the lowest-order truncation yields the Kondo temperature as well as a many-particle understanding of the approximation of Zwicknagl, Zevin, and Fulde to the f spectral function.
