Resummation of Nonalternating Divergent Perturbative Expansions

Author(s)

Abstract

A procedure for the resummation of nonalternating divergent perturbation series is described. The prescription combines the Borel transformation with Pade approximations and a special integration contour for the evaluation of a generalized Borel integral. Nonperturbative imaginary contributions can be inferred form the purely real perturbative coefficients. A connection is drawn from the quantum field theoretic problem of ressummation to divergent perturbative expansions in other areas of physics.
