We consider a class of $n^{\text{th}}$-order linear ordinary differential equations with a large parameter $u$. Analytic solutions of these equations can be described by (divergent) formal series in descending powers of $u$. We demonstrate…
Iterative Fast Fourier Transform methods are useful for calculating the fields in composite materials and their macroscopic response. By iterating back and forth until convergence, the differential constraints are satisfied in Fourier…
We introduce a new type of reduction of inversive difference polynomials that is associated with a partition of the basic set of automorphisms $\sigma$ and uses a generalization of the concept of effective order of a difference polynomial.…
In this article, we define and study a geometry and an order on the set of partitions of an even number of objects. One of the definitions involves the partition algebra, a structure of algebra on the set of such partitions depending on an…
Recently-developed variational perturbation expansions converge exponentially fast for positive coupling constants. They do not, however, possess the correct left-hand cut in the complex coupling constant plane, implying a wrong large-order…
We demonstrate that summing up series of Feynman diagrams can yield unbiased accurate results for strongly-correlated fermions even when the convergence radius vanishes. We consider the unitary Fermi gas, a model of non-relativistic…
A method is developed for calculating effective sums of divergent series. This approach is a variant of the self-similar approximation theory. The novelty here is in using an algebraic transformation with a power providing the maximal…
We analyze the convergence and approximation error of the inverse Born series, obtaining results that hold under qualitatively weaker conditions than previously known. Our approach makes use of tools from geometric function theory in Banach…
We study some series expansions for the Lambert $W$ function. We show that known asymptotic series converge in both real and complex domains. We establish the precise domains of convergence and other properties of the series, including…
In many cases of interest, the perturbative series based on conventional Feynman diagrams have a zero radius of convergence. Series with a finite radius of convergence can be obtained by either introducing a large field cutoff or by…
Given a Taylor series with a finite radius of convergence, its Borel transform defines an entire function. A theorem of P\'olya relates the large d istance behavior of the Borel transform in different directions to singularities of the…
There are two sources of the factorial large-order behavior of a typical perturbative series. First, the number of the different Feynman diagrams may be large; second, there are abnormally large diagrams known as renormalons. It is well…
It is shown how a physical function, namely the Wigner function, that in principle may be measured, can be used to evaluate divergent series.
An approach is suggested defining effective sums of divergent series in the form of self-similar exponential approximants. The procedure of constructing these approximants from divergent series with arbitrary noninteger powers is developed.…
We employ resurgent transseries as algebraic tools to investigate two self-consistent Dyson-Schwinger equations, one in Yukawa theory and one in quantum electrodynamics. After a brief but pedagogical review, we derive fixed point equations…
We demonstrate that a Meijer-G-function-based resummation approach can be successfully applied to approximate the Borel sum of divergent series, and thus to approximate the Borel-\'Ecalle summation of resurgent transseries in quantum field…
We show that for two non-trivial lambda phi ^4 problems (the anharmonic oscillator and the Landau-Ginzburg hierarchical model), improved perturbative series can be obtained by cutting off the large field contributions. The modified series…
With the help of a simple variational procedure it is possible to convert the partial sums of order $N$ of many divergent series expansions $f(g)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n g^n$ into partial sums $\sum_{n=0}^N b_n g^{- \omega n}$, where…
This work describes numerical methods that are useful in many areas: examples include statistical modelling (bioinformatics, computational biology), theoretical physics, and even pure mathematics. The methods are primarily useful for the…
In previous work of the authors, we investigated the Born and inverse Born series for a scalar wave equation with linear and nonlinear terms, the nonlinearity being cubic of Kerr type [8]. We reported conditions which guarantee convergence…
