Abstract

AbstractThe problem of representing an observable F(z) in the Padé scheme from its formal perturbative (Taylor) expansion in z is considered. It is demonstrated how the representation could be improved by incorporating in a simple manner, in the course of constructing such approximants, the knowledge of asymptotic (z → ∞) power‐law behavior of F(z). Comparison with the usual approximants is made with a thorough numerical survey on error estimates and variations of error with z, input information, and quantum number. Spectacular performance of the new strategy is exemplified. Test calculations chiefly involve various properties of the first five eigenenergy states of the quartic anharmonic oscillator system. A few consistency requirements, including the virial theorem, are also studied. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
