Abstract

In a previous paper (nlin.CD/0107041) the following class of billiards was studied: For f:[0,+)(0,+)f: [0, +\infty) \longrightarrow (0, +\infty) convex, sufficiently smooth, and vanishing at infinity, let the billiard table be defined by QQ, the planar domain delimited by the positive xx-semiaxis, the positive yy-semiaxis, and the graph of ff. For a large class of ff we proved that the billiard map was hyperbolic. Furthermore we gave an example of a family of ff that makes this map ergodic. Here we extend the latter result to a much wider class of functions.
