Abstract
An asymptotic approach for a Schroedinger type equation with non selfadjoint Hamiltonian of a special type in the case of two close degeneracy (turning) points is developed. Both real and complex degeneracy points are treated by a method of matched asymptotic expansions in the context of a unifying approach. An asymptotic expansion near degeneracy point containing the parabolic cylinder functions is constructed and the transition matrix connecting the coefficients of adiabatic modes in front of and behind the degeneracy point is derived. A simple non-technical recipe is also provided, which enables one to apply results to different physical problems without performing intermediate calculations.
