N2  - Szigeti's (1961) method for obtaining the vibration frequencies of a finite chain (representing a long-chain molecule) from those of an associated infinite chain is analysed by a matrix partitioning technique. It is shown that this method has the advantage of reducing the dimensionality of the secular determinant. The approach is illustrated by an example.
