Abstract

A method utilizing integration along curves on the Poincaré surfaces of section is described for the semiclassical calculation of a grid of eigenvalues. The method is extremely fast and the eigenvalues calculated for anharmonically coupled oscillators are in excellent agreement with the exact quantum eigenvalues. In the example studied only 28 trajectories were used to obtain 42 eigenvalues.
