The classical-vectormodel withsymmetrical Hamiltonianis considered in aslab geometry bounded by a pair of parallel free surface planes at separation. Standard quadratic boundary terms implying Robin boundary conditions are included in. The temperature-dependent scaling functions of the excess free energy and the thermodynamic Casimir force are computed in the large-limit for temperaturesat, above, and below the bulk critical temperature. Theirlimits can be expressed exactly in terms of the spectrum and eigenfunctions of a self-consistent one-dimensional Schrödinger equation. This equation is solved by numerical means for two distinct discretized versions of the model: in the first (“model A”), only the coordinateacross the slab is discretized and the integrations over momenta conjugate to the lateral coordinates are regularized dimensionally; in the second (“model B”), a simple cubic lattice with periodic boundary conditions along the lateral directions is used. Renormalization-group ideas are invoked to show that, in addition to corrections to scaling, anomalous onesshould occur. They can be considerably decreased by taking an appropriate() limit of theinteraction constant. Depending on the model A or B, they can be absorbed completely or to a large extent in an effective thickness. Excellent data collapses and consistent high-precision results for both models are obtained. The approach to the low-temperature Goldstone values of the scaling functions is shown to involve logarithmic anomalies. The scaling functions exhibit all qualitative features seen in experiments on the thinning of wetting layers ofHe and Monte Carlo simulations ofmodels, including a pronounced minimum of the Casimir force below. The results are in conformity with various analytically known exact properties of the scaling functions.
