Abstract

Variational weak-coupling perturbation theory yields converging approximations, uniformly in the coupling strength. This allows us to calculate directly the coefficients of `strong-coupling' expansions. For the anharmonic oscillator we explain the physical origin of the empirically observed convergence behavior which is exponentially fast with superimposed oscillations.
