Well converged results are obtained for phonon frequencies of the order of the hopping integral and strong to intermediate electron-phonon coupling. The polaron band structure at intermediate coupling is shown to deviate markedly from that of a nearest-neighbor tight-binding model, and is in fact similar in shape to the prediction of weak-coupling self-consistent perturbation theory.4 pages, REVTeX, psfig, 2 postscript figuresCondensed MatterA new perspective on the Holstein polaron problemtext
