Abstract

We present a new approximation technique for quantum field theory. The standard one-loop result is used as a seed for a recursive formula that gives a sequence of improved Gaussian approximations for the generating functional. In a different setting, the basic idea of this recursive scheme is used in the second part of the paper to substantialy speed up the standard Monte Carlo algorithm.
