Abstract: Separated-occurrence inequalities are variants for dependent lattice models of the van den Berg-Kesten inequality for independent models. They take the form $P(Acir{c}_{r}B)leq(1+c{e}^{-epsilonr})P(A)P(B)$, where $Acir{c}_{r}B$ is the event that $A$ and $B$ occur at separation $r$ in a configuration $omega$, that is, there exist two random sets of bonds or sites separated by at least distance $r$, one set responsible for the occurrence of the event $A$ in $omega$, the other for the occurrence of $B$. We establish such inequalities for certain subcritical FK models, and for certain Ising models which are at supercritical temperature or have an external field, with $A$ and $B$ increasing or decreasing events.
