Abstract
  • Methods for the primitive and uniform semiclassical quantization
    of Nonseparable Hamiltonian Systems are developed. Integrable
    nonseparable Hamiltonians are transformed to angle-action variables
    by a sequence of Van Vleck t~ansformations. This sequence of transformations
    displays accelerated convergence. The primitive semiclassical
    eigenvalues are found by evaluating the transformed
    Hamiltonian at the quantized values of the actions. For the nonintegrable
    problem, an integrable approximation is found by normalizing
    the Hamiltonian. This is accomplished by a sequence of
    Birkoff-Van Vleck transformations which display accelerate convergence.
    The uniform semiclassical eigenvalues are found by numerical
    evaluation of the uniform semiclassical quantization condition.
    These methods have been applied to the degenerate HenonHeiles
    Hamiltonian with excellent results.
