In Riemannian geometry, the Cheng's maximal diameter rigidity theorem says that if a complete $n$-manifold $M$ of Ricci curvature, $\operatorname{Ric}_M\ge (n-1)$, has the maximal diameter $\pi$, then $M$ is isometric to the unit sphere…
The elliptical stadium is a curve constructed by joining two half-ellipses, with half axes a>1 and b=1, by two straight segments of equal length 2h. In this work we find bounds on h, for a close to 1, to assure the positiveness of a…

An approach due to Wojtkovski [9], based on the Jacobi fields, is applied to study sets of 3-period orbits in billiards on hyperbolic plane and on two-dimensional sphere. It is found that the set of 3-period orbits in billiards on…

The Schr\"odinger equation in a square or rectangle with hard walls is solved in every introductory quantum mechanics course. Solutions for other polygonal enclosures only exist in a very restricted class of polygons, and are all based on a…
We study a class of planar billiards having the remarkable property that their phase space consists up to a set of zero measure of two invariant sets formed by orbits moving in opposite directions. The tables of these billiards are tubular…
An annular billiard is a dynamical system in which a particle moves freely in a disk except for elastic collisions with the boundary, and also a circular scatterer in the interior of the disk. We investigate stability properties of some…
We study some dynamical properties of a classical time-dependent elliptical billiard. We consider periodically moving boundary and collisions between the particle and the boundary are assumed to be elastic. Our results confirm that although…
The dynamics of a time-dependent stadium-like billiard are studied by a four dimensional nonlinear mapping. We have shown that even without any dissipation, the particle experiences a decrease on its velocity. Such condition is related with…
The rational billiards (RB) are classically pseudointegrable, i.e. their trajectories in the phase space lie on multi-tori. Each such a multi-torus can be unfolded into elementary polygon pattern (EPP). A rational billiards Riemann surface…
