Description

We show that a suitable choice of the zero-order problem can lead directly to the emergence of non-Taylor expansions in λ for the ground-state energies of the Hamiltonian family H(λ) = -∇2 + r2 + λ/rβ in regions β ≥ 3. The discussion includes the role of dimension and the right order parameter. The effect of choosing a more general potential of the form rα + λ/rβ is also considered. (letter to the editor)
