contents Reliable approximations for correlation functions at intermediate and strong coupling remain hard to obtain for general quantum field theories. Perturbative expansions are often asymptotic or have a finite radius of convergence, which limits their applicability beyond weak coupling. Here we combine weak- and strong-coupling expansions and propose to use two-point Padé schemes to construct approximants. For lattice $ϕ^4$ theory, we show that this two-point interpolation strategy yields accurate global approximations to the two-point correlation function across broad coupling regimes and compares favorably with standard one-point resummation methods. We also provide heuristic explanations for the observed convergence behavior and discuss the practical range of validity of the approach.
