Frequencies
Figure 5. Frequencies of the harmonic oscillations in the minima (the blue and the red line correspond to the left and the right minimum, respectively; the solid and the dashed line correspond to the x and y direction, respectively). Green thick lines show the ratio of the frequencies y:x (the rigidity ratio) in both minima.

Figure 6. (A; E) Level dynamics.
The intensity of the red color shades expresses the classical chaoticity (see Figure 3, if present).
Green dashed lines separate regions of a fully convex border of the kinematically accessible region from a partly concave one.
Red solid lines correspond with the positions of the stationary points of the potential (critical triangle).

Figure 7. (x; E) Peres lattice for x=<x> (horizontal axis) and E=<H> (vertical axis).
Green dashed lines separate regions of a fully convex border of the kinematically accessible region from a partly concave one.
Red solid line shows the potential shape V(x, y=0).
Blue solid line gives the classical measure of regularity freg(E) on the horizontal axis.
