Review text

A brief review is presented of two recent perturbation algorithms. Their common idea lies in a not quite usual treatment of linear Schrödinger equations via nonlinear mathematical tools. The first approach (it is called a quasi-exact perturbation theory, QEPT) tries to get the very zero-order approximations already ``almost exact, at a cost of leaving the higher-order computations more complicated. Technically, it constructs and employs solutions of certain auxiliary nonlinear systems of algebraic equations for the suitable zero-order coupling and energies. The second approach (a fixed-point perturbation theory, FPPT) pays more attention to the higher-order corrections. Its purpose lies in an improvement of construction of unperturbed propagators or, alternatively, of the closely related (so-called effective) finite-dimensional auxiliary Hamiltonians. On a technical level, it employs a factorization interpreted via certain nonlinear mappings and, finally, approximates some matrix elements by fixed points of these mappings.
