Convergence of derivative expansions in scalar field theory

Abstract

The convergence of the derivative expansion of the exact renormalisation group is investigated via the computation of the beta function of massless scalar lambda phi^4 theory. The derivative expansion of the Polchinski flow equation converges at one loop for certain fast falling smooth cutoffs. Convergence of the derivative expansion of the Legendre flow equation is trivial at one loop, but also can occur at two loops and in particular converges for an exponential cutoff.
