Abstract

We compute the critical exponents , and of models for various values of by implementing the derivative expansion of the nonperturbative renormalization group up to next-to-next-to-leading order [usually denoted ]. We analyze the behavior of this approximation scheme at successive orders and observe an apparent convergence with a small parameter -- typically between and -- compatible with previous studies in the Ising case. This allows us to give well-grounded error bars. We obtain a determination of critical exponents with a precision which is similar or better than those obtained by most field theoretical techniques. We also reach a better precision than Monte-Carlo simulations in some physically relevant situations. In the case, where there is a longstanding controversy between Monte-Carlo estimates and experiments for the specific heat exponent , our results are compatible with those of Monte-Carlo but clearly exclude experimental values.
