We study a class of elliptic billiards with a Keplerian potential inside, considering two cases: a reflective one, where the particle reflects elastically on the boundary, and a refractive one, where the particle can cross the billiard's…
The aim of this note is to explain the integrability of an integrable Boltzmann billiard model, previously established by Gallavotti and Jauslin in arXiv:2008.01955, alternatively via the viewpoint of projective dynamics. The additional…
This supplement to the article "Approximating multi-dimensional Hamiltonian flows by billiards" contains the proofs of C$^{0}$ and C$^{r}$ - closeness theorems stated in the article.
In the paper discusses the interaction between two charged balls in equilibrium state. It is shown that, depending of the sizes, charges and distance, the balls can move in the same or opposite direction. They can repulse and attract. It is…
We study periodic infinite billiards in the plane. We show that for rational models, some particular obstacles can be added periodically, so that the billiard flow in the resulting table is recurrent in almost every direction.
We introduce a notion of convex hull and polytope into adele space. This allows to consider adelic triangulations which, in particular, lead to an adelic blichfeldt-type inequality, complementing former results.
We study the classical motion in bidimensional polygonal billiards on the sphere. In particular we investigate the dynamics in tiling and generic rational and irrational equilateral triangles. Unlike the plane or the negative curvature…
Rational polygonal billiards are one of the key models among the larger class of pseudo-integrable billiards. Their billiard flow may be lifted to the geodesic flow on a translation surface. Whereas such classical billiards have been much…
We study equilibrium shapes, stability and possible bifurcation diagrams of fluids in higher dimensions, held together by either surface tension or self-gravity. We consider the equilibrium shape and stability problem of self-gravitating…
We study the capillarity equation from the global point of view of behavior of its solutions without explicit regard to boundary conditions. We show its solutions to be constrained in ways, that have till now not been characterized in…
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…
The aim of this paper is to extend Washburn's capillary rise equation by incorporating a slip condition at the pipe wall. The governing equation is derived using fundamental principles from continuum mechanics. A new scaling is introduced,…
We are concerned with the energy equality for weak solutions to Newtonian and non-Newtonian incompressible fluids. In particular, the results obtained for non-Newtonian fluids, after restriction to the Newtonian case, equal or improve the…
We calculate the average volumetric flux versus pressure drop of bubbles moving in a single capillary tube with varying diameter, finding a square-root relation from mapping the flow equations onto that of a driven overdamped pendulum. The…
A simple relation is developed between elastic collisions of freely-moving point particles in one dimension and a corresponding billiard system. For two particles with masses m_1 and m_2 on the half-line x>0 that approach an elastic barrier…
In this paper, the results of Mei, Wang, Weng and Xia [Math. Z., 2025, MR4911815] on capillary convex bodies are extended to the anisotropic setting. We develop a theory for anisotropic capillary convex bodies in the half-space and…
Much recent interest has focused on "open" dynamical systems, in which a classical map or flow is considered only until the trajectory reaches a "hole", at which the dynamics is no longer considered. Here we consider questions pertaining to…
The problem of determining equilibrium configurations of the free surface of a conducting liquid is considered with allowance for a finite interelectrode distance. The analogy is established between this electrostatic problem and that of…
We study a long standing open problem by Ulam, which is whether the Euclidean ball is the unique body of uniform density which will float in equilibrium in any direction. We answer this problem in the class of origin symmetric n-dimensional…
We consider the question how well a floating body can be approximated by the polar of the illumination body of the polar. We establish precise convergence results in the case of centrally symmetric polytopes. This leads to a new affine…
