Popis: Convergence aspects of nuclear many-body perturbation theory for ground states of closed-shell nuclei are explored using a Brillouin-Wigner formulation with a new vertex function enabling high-order calculations. A general formalism for Hamiltonian partitioning and a convergence criterion for the perturbation series are proposed. Analytical derivation shows that with optimal partitionings, the convergence criterion for ground states can always be satisfied. This feature attributes to the variational principle and does not depend on the choice of an internucleon interaction or a many-body basis. Numerical calculations of the ground state energies of 4He and 16O with Daejeon16 and a bare N3LO potential in both harmonic-oscillator and Hartree-Fock bases confirm this finding.
