Concrete numerical results are presented for physically interesting cases $n = 1$, $n = 2$, $n = 3$ and $n = 0$, as well as for $4 \\le n \\le 32$ in order to clarify the general properties of the obtained series. The pseudo-$\\epsilon$-expansions for the exponents $\\gamma$ and $\\alpha$ have small and rapidly decreasing coefficients. So, even the direct summation of the $\\tau$-series leads to fair estimates for critical exponents, while addressing Pade approximants enables one to get high-precision numerical results. In contrast, the coefficients of the pseudo-$\\epsilon$ expansion of the scaling correction exponent $\\omega$ do not exhibit any tendency to decrease at physical values of $n$. But the corresponding series are sign-alternating, and to obtain reliable numerical estimates, it also suffices to use simple Pad\\'e approximants in this case. The pseudo-$\\epsilon$ expansion technique can therefore be regarded as a specific resummation method converting divergent renormalization-group series into expansions that are computationally convenient.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-02-28T08:12:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "critical exponents", "resummation method converting divergent renormalization-group", "method converting divergent renormalization-group series", "specific resummation method converting divergent", "addressing pade approximants enables" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Theoretical and Mathematical Physics", "year": 2016, "month": "Feb", "volume": 186, "number": 2, "pages": 192 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016TMP...186..192N", "inspire": 1424847 } } }
