Resonances of the time evolution (Frobenius-Perron) operator P for phase
space densities have recently been shown to play a key role for the
interrelations of classical, semiclassical and quantum dynamics. Efficient
methods to determine resonances are thus in demand, in particular for
Hamiltonian systems displaying a mix of chaotic and regular behavior. We
present a powerful method based on truncating P to a finite matrix which not
only allows to identify resonances but also the associated phase space
structures. It is demonstrated to work well for a prototypical dynamical
system.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, 2nd version as published (minor changes
