Abstract

We introduce a method to find differential equations for functions which define tables, such that associated billiard systems admit a local first integral. We illustrate this method in three situations: the case of (locally) integrable wire billiards, for finding surfaces in R3{\mathbb R}^3 with a first integral of degree one in velocities, and for finding a piece-wise smooth surface in R3{\mathbb R}^3 homeomorphic to a torus, being a table of an integrable billiard.
