Abstract
We apply the nonperturbative optimized linear expansion method to the scalar field model in three dimensions to determine the transition temperature of a dilute homogeneous Bose gas. Our results show that the shift of the transition temperature of the interacting model, compared with the ideal-gas transition temperature, really behaves as where a is the s-wave scattering length and n is the number density. For our calculations yield the value
