Abstract
The sensitivity of the eigenvalues Ei of a non-integrable Hamiltonian measured by their second differences or second derivatives d2Ei/dλ2 with respect to a coupling parameter λ is studied for the regular and the irregular part of the spectrum as well as for the range of isolated avoided crossings. In the regular part the d2Ei/dλ2 values are expected to be arranged on branches in a plot versus energy: in the avoided-crossing range there should be a drastic increase, and for the irregular part a decrease and a breakdown of the branching is predicted.
