Description

Numerical stochastic perturbation theory (NSPT) is a powerful tool for estimating high-order perturbative expansions in lattice field theory. The standard NSPT is based on the Langevin equation. In this contribution, we investigate in $\varphi^4$ theory some alternative methods. In particular, we present a study of the recently proposed Instantaneous Stochastic Perturbation Theory, as well as a formulation of numerical stochastic perturbation theory based on Generalised Hybrid Molecular Dynamics algorithms.
