We obtained analytically eigenvalues of a multidimensional Ising Hamiltonian on a hypercube lattice and expressed them in terms of spin-spin interaction constants and the eigenvalues of the one-dimensional Ising Hamiltonian (the latter are well known). To do this we wrote down the multidimensional Hamiltonian eigenvectors as the Kronecker products of the eigenvectors of the one-dimensional Ising Hamiltonian. For periodic boundary conditions, it is possible to obtain exact results taking into account interactions with an unlimited number of neighboring spins. In this paper, we present exact expressions for the eigenvalues for the planar and cubic Ising systems accounting for the first five coordination spheres (that is interactions with the nearest neighbors, the next neighbors, the next-next neighbors, the next-next-next neighbors and the next-next-next-next neighbors). In the case of free-boundary systems, we showed that in the two- and three-dimensions the exact expressions could be obtained only if we account for interactions with spins of first two coordination spheres and first three coordination spheres, respectively.
