Hello, i have heard tat you can use Borel transform in QM so the divergent perturbation series become convergent..:confused: :confused: i am a bit confused since if you must compute the Borel transform:

[tex]B(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{a(n)x^{n}}{n!}[/tex]

But this can only be made for a few cases [tex]a(n)=(-1)^{n}[/tex] and
[tex]a(n)=(-1)^{n} n![/tex]

But if the a(n) don't follow a known pattern Borel Transform is useless..

sorry the first "image" (i really hate this f... Latex :mad: :mad:) should be:

[tex]\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(a(n) x^{n})/n![/tex]

-the second: [tex]a(n)= (-1)^{n} n![/tex]

- And the third [tex]a(n)= (-1)^{n}[/tex]
