By writing the flow equations for the continuum Legendre effective action (a.k.a. Helmholtz free energy) with respect to a particular form of smooth cutoff, and performing a derivative expansion up to some maximum order, a set of differential equations are obtained which at FPs (Fixed Points) reduce to non-linear eigenvalue equations for the anomalous scaling dimension $\eta$. Illustrating this by expanding (single component) scalar field theory, in two, three and four dimensions, up to second order in derivatives, we show that the method is a powerful and robust means of discovering and quantifying non-perturbative continuum limits (continuous phase transitions).
