Abstract: We investigate almost-degenerate perturbation theory of eigenvalue problems, using spectral projectors, also named density matrices. When several eigenvalues are close to each other, the coefficients of the perturbative series become singular because inverses of differences between eigenvalues arise as some factors. We remove those artificial singularities in the expressions of the coefficients of the series, allowing eigenvalue gaps to be arbitrarily small and even vanishing in the resulting formulas.
