Abstract

In our previous paper I (del Valle--Turbiner, Int. J. Mod. Phys. A34, 1950143, 2019) it was developed the formalism to study the general DD-dimensional radial anharmonic oscillator with potential V(r)=1g2V^(gr)V(r)= \frac{1}{g^2}\,\hat{V}(gr). It was based on the Perturbation Theory (PT) in powers of gg (weak coupling regime) and in inverse, fractional powers of gg (strong coupling regime) in both rr-space and in (gr)(gr)-space, respectively. As the result it was introduced - the Approximant - a locally-accurate uniform compact approximation of a wave function. If taken as a trial function in variational calculations it has led to variational energies of unprecedented accuracy for cubic anharmonic oscillator. In this paper the formalism is applied to both quartic and sextic, spherically-symmetric radial anharmonic oscillators with two term potentials V(r)=r2+g2(m1)r2m,m=2,3V(r)= r^2 + g^{2(m-1)}\, r^{2m}, m=2,3, respectively. It is shown that a two-parametric Approximant for quartic oscillator and a five-parametric one for sextic oscillator for the first four eigenstates used to calculate the variational energy are accurate in 8-12 figures for any D=1,2,3D=1,2,3\ldots and g0g \geq 0, while the relative deviation of the Approximant from the exact eigenfunction is less than 10610^{-6} for any r0r \geq 0.
