We consider a single anharmonic oscillator with frequency $\omega$ and coupling constant $\lambda$ respectively, in the strong-coupling regime. We are assuming that the system is in thermal equilibrium with a reservoir at temperature $\beta^{-1}$. Using the strong-coupling perturbative expansion, we obtain the partition function for the oscillator in the regime $\lambda>>\omega$, up to the order $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\lambda}}$. To obtain this result, we use of a combination of Klauder's independent-value generating functional (Acta Phys. Austr. {\bf 41}, 237 (1975)), and the generalized zeta-function method. The free energy and the mean energy, up to the order $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\lambda}}$, are also presented. We are showing that the thermodynamics quantities are nonanalytic in the coupling constant.
