Abstract
This paper continues the mathematical study of spin/orbit coupling which was begun in earlier articles by the second author. The equation studied is {Mathematical expression} where P and T are periodic in t and the angle θ. No specific form for P and T is assumed but only the conditions necessary to analyze the system near resonance or a ground state. The behavior of an averaged system of these equations is shown to be reflected qualitatively in the actual equations by rigorous mathematical methods.
