  In this article we propose the calculation of the unconditional Wiener
measure functional integral with a term of the fourth order in the exponent by
an alternative method as in the conventional perturbative approach. In contrast
to the conventional perturbation theory, we expand into power series the term
linear in the integration variable in the exponent. In such a case we can
profit from the representation of the integral in question by the parabolic
cylinder functions. We show that in such a case the series expansions are
uniformly convergent and we find recurrence relations for the Wiener functional
integral in the $N$ - dimensional approximation. In continuum limit we find
that the generalized Gelfand - Yaglom differential equation with solution
yields the desired functional integral (similarly as the standard Gelfand -
Yaglom differential equation yields the functional integral for linear harmonic
oscillator).
