アブストラクト: Asymptotic Pade approximant methods are employed to estimate the hree-loop order coefficients within the MS-bar expression for the semileptonic weak decay of a b-quark into a u-quark. All coefficients of (nonzero) powers of renormalization-scale logarithms are also obtained via application of the appropriate renormalization group (RG) equation for this process. The relative errors of asymptotic Pade approximant estimates of such coefficients is found to be within 5.1% of their true RG values. A similar asymptotic Pade approximant estimate is presented of the constant (logarithm-independent) contribution to the three-loop order expression, a term that is not accessible via RG methods alone. The incorporation of this estimate is seen to reduce the renormalization scale dependence of the total rate, leading to a substantial reduction in the theoretical uncertainty associated with the extraction of V_ub.
