Abstract

The optimized linear δ\delta-expansion is applied to the λϕ4\lambda \phi^4 theory at high temperature. Using the imaginary time formalism the thermal mass is evaluated perturbatively up to order δ2\delta^2. A variational procedure associated with the method generates nonperturbative results which are used to obtain the critical temperature for the phase transition. Our results are compared with the ones given by propagator dressing methods.
