We study periodic wind-tree models, unbounded planar billiards with periodically located rectangular obstacles. For a class of rational parameters we show the existence of completely periodic directions, and recurrence; for another class of…
Let $S_{\rm div}(n)$ denote the set of permutations $\pi$ of $n$ such that for each $1\leq j \leq n$ either $j \mid \pi(j)$ or $\pi(j) \mid j$. These permutations can also be viewed as vertex-disjoint directed cycle covers of the divisor…
We review some properties of periodic orbit families in polygonal billiards and discuss in particular a sum rule that they obey. In addition, we provide algorithms to determine periodic orbit families and present numerical results that shed…
The Poincar\'e-Bendixson theorem plays an important role in the study of the qualitative behavior of dynamical systems on the plane; it describes the structure of limit sets in such systems. We prove a version of the Poincar\'e-Bendixson…
After an initial transient period, the conduction regime in a 1D superconducting wire that carries a fixed current is either normal or periodic or stationary. The phase diagram for these possibilities was studied in Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf…

We study billiards in domains enclosed by circular polygons. These are closed $C^1$ strictly convex curves formed by finitely many circular arcs. We prove the existence of a set in phase space, corresponding to generic sliding trajectories…
In this paper, we study the bifurcation of limit cycles in Lienard systems of the form dot(x)=y-F(x), dot(y)=-x, where F(x) is an odd polynomial that contains, in general, several free parameters. By using a method introduced in a previous…
We give lower bound on the number of periodic billiard trajectories inside a generic smooth strictly convex closed surface in 3-space: for odd n, there are at least 2(n-1) such trajectories. We apply a topological approach based on the…
A massive particle under the influence of a constant gravitational force that is bouncing inside an ideal reflecting mirror described by some function $f(x)$ is considered. For the associated flight trajectories we derive the parametric…
We study dynamics of a ball moving in gravitational field and colliding with a moving table. The motion of the limiter is assumed as periodic with piecewise constant velocity - it is assumed that the table moves up with a constant velocity…
We consider the existence and spectral stability of nonlinear discrete localized solutions representing light pulses propagating in a twisted multi-core optical fiber. By considering an even number, $N$, of waveguides, we derive asymptotic…
Nonlinear dynamics of a bouncing ball moving vertically in a gravitational field and colliding with a moving limiter is considered and the Poincar\'e map, describing evolution from an impact to the next impact, is described. Displacement of…
We prove a vector-valued almost sure invariance principle for some classes of time dependent non-uniformly distance expanding dynamical systems. The models we have in mind are certain sequential versions of the smooth non-uniformly distance…
