Converting Divergent Weak-Coupling into Exponentially Fast Convergent Strong-Coupling Expansions
نویسنده
چکیده
With the help of a simple variational procedure it is possible to convert the partial sums of order N of many divergent series expansions f(g) = ∑∞ n=0 ang n into partial sums ∑N n=0 bng −ωn, where 0 < ω < 1 is a parameter that parametrizes the approach to the large-g limit. The latter are partial sums of a strong-coupling expansion of f(g) which converge against f(g) for g outside a certain divergence radius. The error decreases exponentially fast for large N , like e−const.×N . We present a review of the method and various applications. c © Electronic Journal of Theoretical Physics. All rights reserved.

Convergence Behavior of Variational Perturbation Expansions
Variational weak-coupling perturbation theory yields converging approximations, uniformly in the coupling strength. This allows us to calculate directly the coefficients of strong-coupling expansions. For the anharmonic oscillator we explain the physical origin of the empirically observed convergence behavior which is exponentially fast with superimposed oscillations.
متن کاملVariational Resummation of Divergent Series with Known Large-order Behavior Typeset Using Revt E X
Recently-developed variational perturbation expansions converge exponentially fast for positive coupling constants. They do not, however, possess the correct left-hand cut in the complex coupling constant plane, implying a wrong large-order behavior of their Taylor expansion coeecients. We correct this deeciency and present a method of resumming divergent series with their proper large-order be...

متن کاملConvergent Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation expansions for low-lying eigenstates and eigenenergies of anharmonic oscillators in intermediate basis states
With suitably chosen unperturbed Hamiltonians, we show numerical evidence of convergence of Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation expansions for low-lying eigenstates and the corresponding eigenenergies of the quartic, sextic, and octic anharmonic oscillators, when the anharmonic terms are not very strong. In obtaining the perturbation expansions, unperturbed Hamiltonians are taken as the diagonal ...
