In this work, a way starting from beta function is presented for obtaining well-defined coupling constant in UV and IR region. In the approach presented here, obvious singularity is removed, and asymptotic behaviour is reserved fully and…

We propose a model for the QCD running coupling constant based on the Analytical Inverse QCD Coupling Constant concept with an additional regularization in the low momentum region. Analyticity in the $q^2$-complex plane, where $q$ is the…
Based on a study of the analytic running coupling obtained from the standard perturbation theory results up to four-loop order, the QCD ``synthetic'' running coupling \alpha_{syn} is built. In so doing the perturbative time-like…
We examine, in the `t Hooft renormalization scheme, the analytic running coupling $\bar\alpha_t(Q^2)$ in QCD, using the two-loop $\beta$-function with positive expansion parameters $\beta_0$ and $\beta_1$. An exact integral representation…
We discuss the new model expression $\bar{\alpha}_{an}(Q^2)$ recently obtained for the QCD running coupling with a regular ghost-free behavior in the "low $Q^2$" region. Being deduced from the standard "asymptotic-freedom" expression by…
We discuss the model $\bar{\alpha}_{an}(Q^2)$ recently proposed for the QCD running coupling $\bar{\alpha}_s(Q^2)$ in the Euclidean domain on the basis of the "asymptotic-freedom" expression and on causality condition in the form of the…
As is known from QED, a possible solution to the ghost-pole trouble can be obtained by imposing the $Q^2$-analyticity imperative. Here, the pole is compensated by the $\alpha$ non-analytic contribution that results in finite coupling…
The perturbative expression of the running strong coupling constant \alpha_{\rm s}(Q^{2}) has an unphysical singularity for Q^{2} = \Lambda^{2}_{\rm QCD}. Various modification have been proposed for the infrared region. The effect of some…
Pade-approximant methods are used to extract information about leading positive zeros or poles of QCD and SQCD beta-functions from the known terms of their perturbative series. For QCD, such methods are seen to corroborate the…
We analytically compute the five-loop term in the beta function which governs the running of $\alpha_s$ --- the quark-gluon coupling constant in QCD. The new term leads to a reduction of the theory uncertainty in $\alpha_s$ taken at the…
We propose an all orders beta function for ordinary Yang-Mills theories with or without fermions inspired by the Novikov-Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov beta function of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories. The beta function allows us to bound…

A finite-size scaling technique is applied to the SU(2) gauge theory (without matter fields) to compute a non-perturbatively defined running coupling alpha(q) for a range of momenta q given in units of the string tension K. We find that…
Analytic QCD models are those where the QCD running coupling has the physically correct analytic behavior, i.e., no Landau singularities in the Euclidean regime. We present a simple analytic QCD model in which the discontinuity function of…
We discuss whether or not "freezing" of the QCD running coupling constant in the infrared region is consistent with the Schwinger -- Dyson (SD) equations. Since the consistency of the "freezing" was not found, the conclusion is made that…
