Sparse matrix factorizations of transfer matrices for the interactions round a face model are reviewed. The sparse factors of a more general Ising model containing first, second and third nearest neighbour interactions are also presented. For both models the factorizations are achieved by considering the required auxiliary spin sets as a hierarchy of interacting spins.
