Here we are concerned with a special issue of billiard invisibility, where a bounded set with a piecewise smooth boundary in Euclidean space is identified with a body with mirror surface, and the billiard in the complement of the set is…

We introduce and investigate billiard systems with an adjusted ray dynamics that accounts for modifications of the conventional reflection of rays due to universal wave effects. We show that even small modifications of the specular…

The distribution of radiation is investigated for the modeless laser having a multilobe mirror with the lobes (planes) inclined by small angles to optical axis. It is shown that change of the direction resulting from many passages of a ray…

When an oscillating line source is placed in front of a special mirror consisting of an array of flat uniformly spaced ferrite rods, half of the image disappeared at some frequency. We believe that this comes from the coupling to photonic…

Finite frames can be viewed as mass points distributed in $N$-dimensional Euclidean space. As such they form a subclass of a larger and rich class of probability measures that we call probabilistic frames. We derive the basic properties of…

Reflection of near-infrared light is important for preventing heat transfer in energy saving applications. A large-area, mass-producible reflector that contains randomly distributed disk-shaped silver nanoparticles and that exhibits high…

Lens design uses a calculation of the lens' surfaces that permit to obtain an image from a given object. A set of general rules and laws permits to calculate the essential points of the optical system such as distances, thickness, pupils,…

We derive conditions under which random sequences of polarizations (two-point symmetrizations) converge almost surely to the symmetric decreasing rearrangement. The parameters for the polarizations are independent random variables whose…

We introduce random-kernel networks, a multilayer extension of random feature models where depth is created by deterministic kernel composition and randomness enters only in the outermost layer. We prove that deeper constructions can…

We consider a strictly convex billiard table with $C^2$ boundary, with the dynamics subjected to random perturbations. Each time the billiard ball hits the boundary its reflection angle has a random perturbation. The perturbation…

A fully algebraic approach to reconstructing one-dimensional reflectionless potentials is described. A simple and easily applicable general formula is derived, using the methods of the theory of determinants. In particular, useful…

A body moves in a medium composed of noninteracting point particles; interaction of particles with the body is absolutely elastic. It is required to find the body's shape minimizing or maximizing resistance of the medium to its motion. This…

Lensed billiards are an extension of the notion of billiard dynamical systems obtained by adding a potential function of the form $C1_{\mathcal{A}}$, where $C$ is a real valued constant and $1_{\mathcal{A}}$ is the indicator function of an…

From a reflection measurement in a rectangular microwave billiard with randomly distributed scatterers the scattering and the ordinary fidelity was studied. The position of one of the scatterers is the perturbation parameter. Such…

Resonant dielectric planar structures can interact selectively with light of particular helicity thus providing an attractive platform for chiral flat optics. The absence of mirror-symmetry planes defines geometric chirality, and it remains…
