Convergent expansions for tunneling. (English) Zbl 0579.47050

Authors’ abstract: A new method to compute effects of tunneling in one-dimensional multiple well is developed. A tunneling parameter built with physical quantities is introduced to measure the splitting between eigenvalues due to tunneling. These splittings are given by convergent series in term of this tunneling parameter for a wide class of double well.
