Abstract

Numerical results for the one loop correction to (ϕ4)2 are compared to results obtained from a derivative expansion and an expansion in inverse powers of the effective mass. We vary the scalar background field to illustrate when and why these expansions succeed, and how they break down. It is shown that both expansions behave like asymptotic series, with the approximation improving until higher order corrections grow in magnitude.
