Critical indices from self-similar root approximants

Abstract

The method of self-similar root approximants has earlier been shown to provide accurate interpolating formulas for functions for which small-variable expansions are given and the behaviour of the functions at large variables is known. Now this method is generalized for the purpose of extrapolating small-variable expansions to the region of finite and large variables, where the sought function exhibits critical behaviour. The procedure of calculating critical indices is formulated and illustrated by a variety of physical problems.
