Convergence of Scaled Delta Expansion: Anharmonic Oscillator

Abstract: ABSTRACT:We prove that the linear delta expansion for energy eigenvalues of the quantum mechanical anharmonic oscillator converges to the exact answer if the order dependent trial frequency Ω is chosen to scale with the order as Ω = CN γ ; 1/3 < γ < 1/2, C > 0 as N → ∞. It converges also for γ = 1/3, if C ≥ α c g 1/3 , α c ≃ 0.570875, where g is the coupling constant in front of the operator q 4 /4. The extreme case with γ = 1/3, C = α c g 1/3 corresponds to the choice discussed earlier by Seznec and Zinn-Just… Show more

“…(More precisely, for asymptotically free theories, the optimized mass is automatically of the order of the basic scale Λ ∼ µ e −1/(b0 g) , in contrast with the original vanishing mass). In simpler (D = 1) models the procedure may be seen as a particular case of "order-dependent mapping" [27], which has been proven [28] to converge exponentially fast for the D = 1 Φ 4 oscillator energy levels. For higher dimensional D > 1 renormalizable models, the behavior at large orders in δ is more involved, and no rigorous convergence proof exists, although OPT was shown to partially damp the factorially divergent (infrared renormalons) perturbative behavior at large orders [29].…”

“…However it cannot take the place of the semi-classical approximation because it fails in the weak coupling regime g < 0.1. This is unsatisfactory although the failure can be understood [6] as the effect of Bender-Wu singularity [1] on the higher Riemann surface. As the another displeased feature of ODM, the method just gives a "number," which is a solution of a higher algebraic equation, hence does not allow a simple analytical characterization such as (2).…”

“…It is considered as a sort of variational method [13,14,15,16,17,18]. It has been successfully applied to various models [19,20,21,22], and applications to matrix models were done in Refs. [23,24,25].…”
