Review text

We investigate \textit{K. Symanzik}'s [Nucl. Phys. B 226, 187 and 205 (1983)] improvement program in a four-dimensional Euclidean scalar field theory with smooth momentum space cutoff. We use \textit{K. Wilson}'s [Rev. Mod. Phys. 55, 583 (1983)] renormalization group transformation to define the improved actions as a sequence of initial data for the effective action at the fundamental cutoff. This leads to a sequence of solutions to the renormalization group equation. We define the parameters of the improved actions implicitly by conditions on the effective action at a renormalization scale. The improved actions are close appoximations to the continuum effective action. We prove their existence to every order of improvement and to every order of renormalized perturbation theory.
