Abstract: We study 1D Hamilton systems with homogeneous power law potential and their statistical behaviour, assuming the microcanonical distribution of the initial conditions and describing its change under monotonically increasing time-dependent function $a(t)$ (prefactor of the potential). Using the nonlinear WKB-like method by Papamikos and Robnik {em J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. {�f 44} (2012) 315102} and following a previous work by Papamikos G and Robnik M {em J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. {�f 45} (2011) 015206} we specifically analyze the mean energy, the variance and the adiabatic invariant (action) of the systems for large time $tightarrowinfty$ and we show that the mean energy and variance increase as powers of $a(t)$, while the action oscillates and finally remains constant. By means of a number of detailed case studies we show that the theoretical prediction is excellent which demonstrates the usefulness of the method in such applications.
