    The paper proves Borel-Le Roy summability of order \(p(p=1,2,...)\) of the correlation functions and the pressure in the variable \(\beta (\beta =1/T)\) under suitable hypotheses on the pair potential for classical continuous systems. Borel summability (i.e. with \(p=0)\) was established by \textit{W. Wagner}, [Borel-summability of the high temperature expansion for classical continuous systems. ibid. 82, 183-189 (1981)] for \(\phi \in L^ 1({\mathbb{R}}_+)\cap L^{\infty}({\mathbb{R}}_+),\) \(\phi\) regular and stable. In this case \(\phi\) (r) satisfies: (1) \(\phi\) (r) is the restriction to \(r\in {\mathbb{R}}_+\) of a function analytic in some angular sector containing \({\mathbb{R}}_+\), which admits an inverse function \(\psi\) (t) analytic for \(\arg (t)<p\pi /2\) (for some \(p\in {\mathbb{N}})\); (2) \(\phi\) (r)\(\sim c(\ln\) \(r^{-1})^ p\) as \(r\to 0\), for some \(c>0\); (3) \(\phi (r)\sim c'e^{-ar}r^ n(\ln\) \(r)^ m\) as \(r\to +\infty\), for some c', \(a>0\), n,m\(\in {\mathbb{Z}}.\) This class, which is contained in stable, regular, monotone, positive potentials, includes (when the dimension is 2 and \(p=1)\) Yukawa potentials whose asymptotic behaviour is \(| \ln\) \(r|\) as \(r\to 0\) and exponentially decreasing as \(r\to +\infty\). Such assumptions imply that \(\int (e^{-\beta \phi (x)}-1)dx\) is analytic, on the Riemann surface of log \(\beta\), for Re \(\beta\) \({}^{(1+p)^{-1}}>0.\) By a suitable choice of Banach spaces, it is proved that the correlation functions, too, are analytic for Re \(\beta\) \({}^{1/(p+1)}>0,| \beta |\) small. The same technique yields the required bound \(((p+2)n)!\) on the n-th derivatives of correlation functions in this region whence Borel-Le Roy summability of order p.
