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.

    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.

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    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.

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 4.0

    ADM-scaled axial gravitational QNMs of the Jusufi–Singleton regular black hole rise in real part with zero-point length, while damping and excitation-factor magnitudes change more mildly.

    In STVG with PFDM, eikonal QNM real frequencies equal multipole number over shadow radius, so shadow size and ringdown are dual photon-sphere observables.

    Higher-dimensional regular black holes in quasi-topological gravity exhibit significantly suppressed grey-body factors and Hawking evaporation compared to singular black holes in general relativity.
