Optimized perturbation methods for the free energy of the anharmonic oscillator
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two possibile applications of the optimized expansion for the free energy of the quantum-mechanical anharmonic oscillator are discussed. The first method is for the finite temperature effective potential; the second one, for the classical effective potential. The results of both methods show a quick convergence and agree well with the exact free energy in the whole range of temperatures.

Optimized perturbation method for the propagation in the anharmonic oscillator potential
The application of the optimized expansion for the quantum-mechanical propagation in the anharmonic potential λx4 is discussed for real and imaginary time. The first order results in the imaginary time formalism provide approximations to the free energy and particle density which agree well with the exact results in the whole range of temperatures.

متن کاملVariational Perturbation Theory for Density Matrices
Variational perturbation theory [1,2] transforms divergent perturbation expansions into convergent ones. The convergence extends to infinitely strong couplings [3], a property which has recently been used to derive critical exponents in field theory without renormalization group methods [4,5]. The theory has first been developed in quantum mechanics for the path integral representation of the f...
متن کاملA new approach to the logarithmic perturbation theory for the spherical anharmonic oscillator
The explicit semiclassical treatment of the logarithmic perturbation theory for the bound-state problem for the spherical anharmonic oscillator is developed. Based upon the h̄-expansions and suitable quantization conditions a new procedure for deriving perturbation expansions is offered. Avoiding disadvantages of the standard approach, new handy recursion formulae with the same simple form both ...
متن کاملSome New Analytical Techniques for Duffing Oscillator with Very Strong Nonlinearity
The current paper focuses on some analytical techniques to solve the non-linear Duffing oscillator with large nonlinearity. Four different methods have been applied for solution of the equation of motion; the variational iteration method, He’s parameter expanding method, parameterized perturbation method, and the homotopy perturbation method. The results reveal that approxim...

In this paper we examine fluctuation and frequency of the governing equation ofoscillator with odd and even nonlinearities without damping and we present a new efficientmodification of the He’s homotopy perturbation method for this equation. We applied standard andmodified homotopy perturbation method and compare them with the numerical solution (NS), also weapplied He’s Energy balance method (...
