The authors apply the variational lower-bound renormalization group transformation of Kadanoff (1975) to an SU (2) lattice spin model in two and three dimensions. Even in the one-hypercube framework of this renormalization group transformation the present model is characterized by having an infinite basis of fundamental operators. They investigate whether the lower-bound variational renormalization group transformation yields results stable under different truncations of this operator basis. Their results show that for this particular spin model this is not the case.
