We apply the linear {delta} expansion to non-Abelian gauge theory on the lattice, with SU(2) as the gauge group. We establish an appropriate parametrization and evaluate the average plaquette energy {ital E}{sub {ital P}} to {ital O}({delta}). As a check on our results, we recover the large-{beta} expansion up to {ital O}(1/{beta}{sup 2}), which involves some {ital O}({delta}{sup 2}) contributions. Using these contributions we construct a variant of the 1/{beta} expansion which gives a good fit to the data down to the transition region. |
