13. y cannot penetrate into the billiard.
14. Adiabatic invariance is defined in the limit ε → 0 and is therefore distinct from invariance in the sense of Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM), which would require a critical ε* such that a contour is exactly invariant for ε < ε*. Numerical evidence [5] suggests that the KAM theorem does not apply to a chaotic Andreev billiard.
