smearing parameters
- The self-energy has a functional dependence upon the smearing
parameters, i.e.

e(1) = ek1 k2 k3 α11 α22 α33
k 1,k 2,k 3=0
- coefficients can be determined out of the of the Feynman diagrams
- coefficients have a triangular structure, only for
0 ≤ k3 ≤ k2 ≤ k1 ≤ 2 non-zero
- Results are align with the one-loop expansion of the static
self-energy won from the static potential by R.Hoffmann
