From comparing three thus available successive RGOPT orders, we illustrate the efficient resummation and very good apparent convergence properties of the method. In particular, the remnant renormalization scale dependence of thermodynamical quantities is drastically improved as compared to both standard perturbative expansions and other related resummation methods, such as the screened perturbation theory. Our present results thus constitute a useful first NNLO illustration in view of NNLO applications of this approach to the more involved thermal QCD. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-03319381/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-03319381/file/PhysRevD.104.096012.pdf %L hal-03319381 %U https://hal.science/hal-03319381 %~ CNRS %~ L2C %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021
