Note that we use in this paper the same deformation of the billiard shape, which is effectively achieved by using mixed boundary conditions. On the other hand, we work here in the (Formula presented) region.

20. We use (Formula presented) units, but later in some formulas we include (Formula presented) in order to make it easy for the reader to make comparisons with other publications.

28. The term “parametric evolution” refers to the (Formula presented) dependence of the LDOS profile, which starts as a delta distribution at (Formula presented) It can be formally obtained as the solution of a Schrödinger-like equation, where (Formula presented) plays the role of fictitious time.
29. The saturation of (Formula presented) is just “postponed” by the cutoff procedure. This means that by looking on a large enough (Formula presented) range we can still observe reminisces of saturation. For stronger cutoff, a larger range is required to see deviation from the approximately linear behavior of (Formula presented)

31. If the perturbative tails effectively disappear, then we say that the LDOS has a purely “nonperturbative” structure. For large enough (Formula presented) the nonperturbative structure becomes purely semiclassical.

37. The following remark is important [B. Eckhardt (private communication)]: The naive identification of (Formula presented) as the Lyapunov exponent is not obvious, and involves some hidden assumptions regarding the phase space structure of evolving manifolds.
