Accurate summation of the perturbation series for periodic eigenvalue problems

We show that algebraic approximants prove suitable for the summation of the perturbation series for the eigenvalues of periodic problems. Appropriate algebraic approximants constructed from the perturbation series for a given eigenvalue provide information about other eigenvalues connected with the...

Sumario:We show that algebraic approximants prove suitable for the summation of the perturbation series for the eigenvalues of periodic problems. Appropriate algebraic approximants constructed from the perturbation series for a given eigenvalue provide information about other eigenvalues connected with the chosen one by branch points in the complex plane. Such approximants also give those branch points with remarkable accuracy. We choose Mathieu's equation as illustrative example.
