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…
We form a sequence of oblong matrices by evaluating an integrable vector-valued function along the orbit of an ergodic dynamical system. We obtain an almost sure asymptotic result for the permanents of those matrices. We also give an…
Let $e(s)$ be the error term of the hyperbolic circle problem, and denote by $e_\alpha(s)$ the fractional integral to order $\alpha$ of $e(s)$. We prove that for any small $\alpha>0$ the asymptotic variance of $e_\alpha(s)$ is finite, and…
The time-asymptotic behavior of undamped, nonlinear oscillators with a random frequency is investigated analytically and numerically. We find that averaged quantities of physical interest, such as the oscillator's mechanical energy,…
We compare invariants of N-periodic trajectories in the elliptic billiard, classic and new, to their aperiodic counterparts via a spatial integrals evaluated over the boundary of the elliptic billiard. The integrand is weighed by a…
Sufficiently differentiable oval billiards always have invariant rotational curves, but there are only two types of ovals with an invariant horizontal circle in its phase-space: the constant width ovals and some very special symmetric…
We prove some partial results on the periodicity of billiard systems on graphs. The results specialize to the case of $n$ billiards with equal mass on the unit interval or circle traveling at the same speed.
We study the characteristic function and moments of the integer-valued random variable $\lfloor X+\alpha\rfloor$, where $X$ is a continuous random variables. The results can be regarded as exact versions of Sheppard's correction. Rounded…
We prove ergodicity in a class of skew-product extensions of interval exchange transformations given by cocycles with logarithmic singularities. This, in particular, gives explicit examples of ergodic $\mathbb{R}$-extensions of minimal…
The purpose of this paper is to compare a classical non-holonomic system---a sphere rolling against the inner surface of a vertical cylinder under gravity---and a class of discrete dynamical systems known as no-slip billiards in similar…
The ergodic properties of two uncoupled oscillators, a horizontal and vertical one, residing in a class of non rectangular star-shaped polygons with only vertical and horizontal boundaries and impacting elastically from its boundaries are…
Balancing square and rectangular tables by rotation has been a interesting way to illustrate the intermediate value theorem. The aim of this note is to show that the balancing act but with non-rectangular tables can be a nice application of…
We prove an estimate for spherical functions $\varphi_\lambda(a)$ on $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})$, establishing uniform decay in the spectral parameter $\lambda$ when the group parameter $a$ is restricted to a compact subset of the abelian…
On the sets of $2\pi$-periodic functions $f$, which are defined with a help of $(\psi, \beta)$-integrals of the functions $\varphi$ from $L_{1}$, we establish Lebesgue-type inequalities, in which the uniform norms of deviations of Fourier…
A general formula for the linearized Poincar\'e map of a billiard with a potential is derived. The stability of periodic orbits is given by the trace of a product of matrices describing the piecewise free motion between reflections and the…
We study random dynamical systems of certain continuous functions on the unit interval. We use bounded variation to provide sufficient conditions for unique ergodicity of these systems. Several classes of examples are provided.
Our main is to study periodic orbits of linear and invariant flows on a real, connected Lie group. Since each linear flow $\varphi_t$ has a derivation associated $\mathcal{D}$, we show that the existence of periodic orbits of $\varphi_t$ is…
There is an open set of right triangles such that for each irrational triangle in this set (i) periodic billiards orbits are dense in the phase space, (ii) there is a unique nonsingular perpendicular billiard orbit which is not periodic,…
We investigate uniform ergodic type theorems for additive and subadditive functions on a subshift over a finite alphabet. We show that every strictly ergodic subshift admits a uniform ergodic theorem for Banach-space-valued additive…
Ergodic Functions are bounded uniformly continuous $(\text{BUC})$ functions that are typical realizations of continuous stationary ergodic process. A natural question is whether such functions are always the sum of an almost periodic with…
