Fractional APT in QCD.
Alexander P. Bakulev

We work out and discuss the Fractional Analytic Perturbation Theory (FAPT) for QCD observables, developed in [1-3] both in the Euclidean and the Minkowski regions. The original analytic approach to QCD, initiated by Shirkov and Solovtsov [4], is summarized and its problems are pointed out. We suggest FAPT for their resolution and discuss technical development of FAPT - higher loops, convergence, accuracy. As the applications of FAPT we consider phenomenological analysis of Higgs boson decay H0 [3] and of the pion electromagnetic form factor [5].
Key words: general properties of perturbation theory, perturbative calculations in QCD, summation of perturbation theory, renormalization group evolution of parameters
