Abstract
A recent proof of the convergence of the optimized expansion for one-dimensional non-Gaussian integrals is extended to the finite-temperature partition function of the quantum anharmonic oscillator. The convergence is exponentially fast, with the remainder falling as at order in the expansion, independently of the size of the coupling or the sign of the mass term. In particular, the approach gives a convergent resummation procedure for the double-well (non-Borel-summable) case.
