Mathematically, Eq.~\eqref{eq:E_expansion} corresponds to a Taylor series expansion of the exact energy

around the reference system $\lambda = 0$.

The energy of the target ``physical'' system is recovered at the point $\lambda = 1$.

However, like all series expansions, the Eq.~\eqref{eq:E_expansion} has a radius of convergence $\rc$.

When $\rc < 1$, the Rayleigh--Schr\"{o}dinger expansion will diverge

for the physical system.

The value of $\rc$ can vary significantly between different systems and strongly depends on the particular decomposition

of the reference and perturbation Hamiltonians in Eq.~\eqref{eq:SchrEq-PT}.\cite{Mihalka_2017b}

Note that when $\lambda = \lambda_c$, one cannot \textit{a priori} predict if the series is convergent or not.

Note that when $\abs{\lambda} = r_c$, one cannot \textit{a priori} predict if the series is convergent or not.

For example, the series $\sum_{k=1}^\infty \lambda^k/k$ diverges at $\lambda = 1$ but converges at $\lambda = -1$.
