We analyse a behaviour of the order parameter and specific heat of the Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) on the Bethe lattice using the Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT) formalism, which provides the exact solution in the limit of large spatial dimensions. In the large U limit, the FKM maps onto the effective Ising model, with the order parameter of the Curie-Weiss form. However, in the small U limit the order parameter takes on unusual shape, with a sharp reduction near T ≈ T_{c}/2. We focus our investigation on a crossover between these two limits, thus we perform our calculations for a set of intermediate and small values of U. We find the overall behaviour of the order parameter and specific heat as a function of temperature to be quite anomalous.
