Exactly soluble Z-invariant (or Baxter) models of statistical mechanics are generalised on two-dimensional Penrose lattices based on the de Bruijn construction. A unique soluble model is obtained for each realization of the Penrose lattice. Analysis of these models shows that they are soluble along a line in parameter space which intersects the critical surface at a point that can be determined exactly. In the Ising case, critical exponents along this line are identical with the regular two-dimensional Ising model thus supporting the conventional picture of the universality hypothesis.

A number of local three-spin correlations are calculated exactly for various related ferromagnetic two-dimensional solvable models in statistical mechanics.They are the square lattice free-fermion model, the equivalent checkerboard Ising model, and the anisotropic triangular, honeycomb and square lattice Ising models. The different results are all applications of a single unifying formula.

Using recently extended data of Sykes et al. on the high field expansion of the free energy of the two-dimensional spin-1/2 Ising model the critical behavior of the magnetization and its first six temperature derivatives are examined on the critical isotherm. The estimates of the critical exponents and the critical amplitude ratios are found to be in reasonable to excellent agreement with scaling theories.

The integral representations for the partition functions of Ising models are surveyed. The connection with the underlying fermion field in the two-dimensional case is discussed. The relation between the low and the high-temperature expansions is examined.
