Convergent Perturbation Expansion for the Anharmonic Oscillator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the ground state as well as the first three excited states of the anharmonic oscillator with anharmonicity hx 4 for a range of h = (0, 10) with the first-order logarithmic perturbation iteration method (FOLPIM). This leads to convergent results. The initial choice of the wave function seems only to affect the rate of convergence in the case of the ground state but may critically affect the convergence for the excited states. For large values of h, convergence is best obtained by choosing the asymptotic solution as the initial "unperturbed" wave function.

Scaling Property of Variational Perturbation Expansion for General Anharmonic Oscillator with X P -potential Typeset Using Revt E X
We prove a powerful scaling property for the extremality condition in the recently developed variational perturbation theory which converts divergent perturbation expansions into exponentially fast convergent ones. The proof is given for the energy eigenvalues of an anharmonic oscillator with an arbitrary x p-potential. The scaling property greatly increases the accuracy of the results.

The Rayleigh-Schrr odinger perturbation series for the energy eigenvalue of an anharmonic oscillator deened by the Hamiltonian ^ H (m) () = ^ p 2 + ^ x 2 + ^ x 2m with m = 2; 3; 4;. .. diverges quite strongly for every 6 = 0 and has to summed to produce numerically useful results. However, a divergent weak coupling expansion of that kind cannot be summed eeectively if the coupling constant is l...

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 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 ...
متن کاملOptimized perturbation methods for the free energy of the anharmonic oscillator
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.
