We consider systems of "pinned balls," i.e., balls that have fixed positions and pseudo-velocities. Pseudo-velocities change according to the same rules as those for velocities of totally elastic collisions between moving balls. The times…
The eigenvalues of the Hyperspherical billiard are calculated in the semiclassical approximation. The eigenvalues where this approximation fails are identified and found to be related to caustics that approach the wall of the billiard. The…
We construct a well ordered symbolic dynamics plane for the stadium billiard. In this symbolic plane the forbidden and the allowed orbits are separated by a monotone pruning front, and allowed orbits can be systematically generated by…
In this paper, we use Betti splittings of binomial edge ideals to establish improved upper and lower bounds for their regularity in the case of trees. As a consequence, we determine the exact regularity for certain classes of trees.
We perform fractal analysis on a closed classical hard-wall billiard, the circular billiard with a straight cut, assuming there are two openings on the boundary. We use a two-dimensional set of initial conditions that produce all possible…
We derive exact expressions for the probabilities that partly random hyperplanes separate two Euclidean balls. The probability that a fully random hyperplane separates two balls turns out to be significantly smaller than the corresponding…
We discuss the propagation of kinetic energy through billiard balls fixed in place along a one-dimensional segment. The number of billiard balls is assumed to be large but finite and we assume kinetic energy propagates following the usual…
An existence of an aperiodic point for outer billiard outside regular dodecagon is proved. Additionally, almost all orbits of such an outer billiard are proved to be periodic, and all possible periods are listed explicitly. The proof is…
We estimate from below the topological entropy of the Bunimovich stadium billiards. We do it for long billiard tables, and find the limit of estimates as the length goes to infinity.
Consider a family of smooth potentials $V_{\epsilon}$, which, in the limit $\epsilon\to0$, become a singular hard-wall potential of a multi-dimensional billiard. We define auxiliary billiard domains that asymptote, as $\epsilon\to0$ to the…
A research for a general expression of the triplets of integer sided triangles with a $120^{\circ}$ angle, in parallel with the case of a $60^{\circ}$ angle.
We consider weak solutions to dispersive partial differential equations with periodic boundary conditions and initial data with jump discontinuities. These are already known to be continuous at irrational times and piecewise constant at…
We propose a general expression for the probability distribution of real-valued tunneling times of a localized particle, as measured by the Salecker-Wigner-Peres quantum clock. This general expression is used to obtain the distribution of…
We discuss the problem to count, or, more modestly, to estimate the number f(m,n) of unimodular triangulations of the planar grid of size $m\times n$. Among other tools, we employ recursions that allow one to compute the (huge) number of…
This paper is the third in a series which explores a combinatorial method for generating lattice polygons in the plane. I call this method the plaid model. In this paper I prove the main result I had been aiming for since the beginning,…
We study billiards in plane domains, with a perpendicular magnetic field and a potential. We give some results on periodic orbits, KAM tori and adiabatic invariants. We also prove the existence of bound states in a related scattering…
We investigate particle transport in the honeycomb billiard that consists of connected channels placed on the edges of a honeycomb structure. The spreading of particles is superdiffusive due to the existence of ballistic trajectories which…
We consider a randomized algorithm for the unique games problem, using independent multinomial probabilities to assign labels to the vertices of a graph. The expected value of the solution obtained by the algorithm is expressed as a…
We offer some theorems, mainly of finiteness, for certain patterns in elliptical billiards, related to periodic trajectories. For instance, if two players hit a ball at a given position and with directions forming a fixed angle in…
In this work we present the results of a study of spectral statistics for a classically integrable system, namely the rectangle billiard. We show that the spectral statistics are indeed Poissonian in the semiclassical limit for almost all…
