abstract
In previous work [1] we proposed an improvement of the WKB-based semianalytic technique of Iyer and Will for calculation of the quasiormal modes of black holes by constructing the Pad\'e approximants of the formal series for $\omega^{2}.$ It has been demonstrated that (within the domain of applicability) the diagonal Pad\'e transforms $\mathcal{P}_{6}^{6}$ and $\mathcal{P}_{7}^{6}$ are always in a very good agreement with the numerical results. In this paper we present a further extension of the method. We show that it is possible to reproduce many known numerical results with a great accuracy (or even exactly) if the Pad\'e transforms are constructed from the perturbative series of a really high order. In our calculations the order depends on the problem but it never exceeds 700. For example, the frequencies of the gravitational mode $l=2,$ $n=0$ calculated with the aid of the Pad\'e approximants and within the framework of the continued fractions method agree to 24 decimal places. The use of such a large number of terms is necessary as the stabilization of the quasinormal frequencies can be slow. Our results reveal some unexpected features of the WKB-based approximations and may shed some fresh light on the problem of overtones.

Increasing the mass of a scalar field around a parity-symmetric beyond-Horndeski black hole strongly reduces the damping rate of quasinormal modes while suppressing low-frequency absorption and shifting efficient absorption to higher frequencies.
The authors construct explicit closed quantization contours encircling the origin for radial Schrödinger problems and use a logarithmic coordinate change to equate closed-cycle and open-connection quantization while incorporating the Maslov phase via renormalization-group arguments.
Quasinormal frequencies for massless fields in Proca-hairy de Sitter black holes show scalar ℓ=0 modes most sensitive to hair parameter Q, with damping weakening near the three-horizon regime.
Regular black holes in quasi-topological gravity produce shifted electromagnetic absorption spectra and modified photon sphere radii relative to singular Tangherlini solutions, with deviations suppressed as spacetime dimensions increase.
Massive scalar quasinormal modes in quasi-topological black holes become long-lived as scalar mass grows, while photon-sphere radius, shadow size, and ISCO exhibit moderate deviations from Schwarzschild.
Higher dimensional regular black holes in quasi-topological gravity have suppressed grey-body factors and Hawking radiation compared to singular black holes in general relativity.
Increasing zero-point length makes photon and ISCO orbits more compact in ADM units while heavier scalars raise oscillation frequency and suppress damping on this regular self-energy black hole.
