I_ Intrculuc tion Following the pioneering

work of Bender and Wu

[l]

and of Simon [2] on the anhxmonic oscillator, has been a great deal of recent interest m largeorder perturbation theory, particularly for systems whose Rayleigh-Schriidinger (RS) perturbation series are known to be divergent or asymptotic. A major aim has been to devise successful summation techniques for such series; the work of &Zek and Vrscay [3] and of Silverman [4] provide just two recent examples, and many references. What emerges clearly from these treatments is that different procedures must be used in order to obtain highly accurate results for different systems, and there appears to be no L llversal solution applicable to all problems. Moreove. _Jthough it is now possible to calculate RS energy coefficients accurately up to order 100 (or beyond) for some model there

systems, it remains unlikely that this will become the norm. A generally applicable alternative is clearly desirable. Now, as has been emphasized by Banejee [5] and Killingbeck [6], it is often possible to rescule or tenormaIise a perturbation series. In fact, certain widely used “summation procedures” have their origins in an appropriate change of scale, or equivalently, in a different choice of reference (zero-order) hamiltonian Hb in place of the more natural (physical) operator Ho _ (The celebrated screening approximation of Dalgarno and Stewart [7] is a very good example of this.)

and Hi, Hi may be (explicitly or imphcltly) h dependent. The formal perturbarion parameter p will be set equal to unity at the end of the calculation. so that ir is sufficient for our purposes if convergence of the pperturbation series can be established only for a rather limited range, 0 < _u< 1; the range of the physical parame ter h is frequently unbounded (0 < X < -)_ Since H&A) may be chosen differently for differenr ranges of h, it becomes possible ro treat in zero order the leading effect of the physical penurbation, AH, _ Moreover, if this X dependence is introduced by means of variational parameters, these may be optimlsedfir my partidar X by appeal to the variation theorem: there is no need to have recourse ro the asymptotic (WKBJ) approximation for large h, although this is a well-documented procedure [1,5] _ In this letter, we reconsider the ground-state energies of two popular “problematic“ hamilronians, the one-dimensional (quartic) anharmonic oscillator and 295
