  The generalized mapping transformation technique is used to obtain the exact
solution for the transverse Ising model on decorated planar lattices. Within
this scheme, the basic thermodynamic quantities are calculated for different
planar lattices with arbitrary spins of decorating atoms. The particular
attention has been paid to the investigation of the transverse-field effects on
magnetic properties of the system under investigation. The most interesting
numerical results for the phase diagrams, compensation temperatures and several
thermodynamic quantities are discussed in detail for the ferrimagnetic version
of the model.
