Abstract
We have developed a renormalization transformation, based on the existence of higher-order nonlinear resonances in the double-resonance model, that gives good predictions for the extension of the wave function in that system due to nonlinear resonance overlap. The double-resonance model describes the qualitative behavior, in local regions of the Hilbert space, of many quantum systems with two degrees of freedom whose dynamics is described by a nonlinear Hamiltonian but a linear Schrödinger equation.Keywords
