We find a normal form which describes the high energy dynamics of a class of piecewise smooth Fermi-Ulam ping pong models; depending on the value of a single real parameter, the dynamics can be either hyperbolic or elliptic. In the first…
We study the one-dimensional Fermi-Ulam ping-pong problem with a Bohr almost periodic forcing function and show that the set of initial condition leading to escaping orbits typically has Lebesgue measure zero.
In this paper we show an infinite measure set of exponentially escaping orbits for a resonant Fermi accelerator, which is realised as a square billiard with a periodically oscillating platform. We use normal forms to describe how the energy…
We consider the static wall approximation to the dynamics of a particle bouncing on a periodically oscillating infinitely heavy plate while subject to a potential force. We assume the case of a potential given by a power of the particle's…
We study a natural class of Fermi-Ulam Models that features good hyperbolicity properties and that we call dispersing Fermi-Ulam models. Using tools inspired by the theory of hyperbolic billiards we prove, under very mild complexity…
The dynamical properties of a particle in a gravitational field colliding with a rigid wall moving with piecewise constant velocity are studied. The linear nature of the wall's motion permits further analytical investigation than is…
We introduce two models, the Fermi-Ulam model in an external field and a one dimensional system of bouncing balls in an external field above a periodically oscillating plate. For both models we investigate the possibility of unbounded…
Recently, the occurrence of exponential Fermi acceleration has been reported in a rectangular billiard with an oscillating bar inside [K. Shah, D. Turaev, and V. Rom-Kedar, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 81}, 056205 (2010)]. In the present work, we…
The dynamics of a metallic particle confined between charged walls is studied. One wall is fixed and the other moves smoothly and periodically in time. Dissipation is considered by assuming a friction produced by the contact between the…
This paper considers the famous Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chain with periodic boundary conditions and quartic nonlinearities. Due to special resonances and discrete symmetries, the Birkhoff normal form of this Hamiltonian system is completely…
The FPUT paradox is the phenomenon whereby a one-dimensional chain of oscillators with nonlinear couplings shows non-ergodic behavior. The trajectory of the system in phase space, with a long wavelength initial condition, closely follows…
A class of non-compact billiards is introduced, namely the infinite step billiards, i.e., systems of a point particle moving freely in the domain $\Omega = \bigcup_{n\in\N} [n,n+1] \times [0,p_n]$, with elastic reflections on the boundary;…
We introduce and study a model of time-dependent billiard systems with billiard boundaries undergoing infinitesimal wiggling motions. The so-called quivering billiard is simple to simulate, straightforward to analyze, and is a faithful…
We call a system bouncing ball billiard if it consists of a particle that is subjected to a constant vertical force and bounces inelastically on a one-dimendional vibrating periodically corrugated floor. Here we choose circular scatterers…
In this paper we show that under general resonance the classical piecewise linear Fermi-Ulam accelerator behaves substantially different from its quantization in the sense that the classical accelerator exhibits typical recurrence and…
We investigate the stability of an Fermi ball(F-ball) within the next-to-leading order approximation in the thin wall expansion. We find out that an F-ball is unstable in case that it is electrically neutral. We then find out that an…
We construct a variational wave function to study whether a fully polarized Fermi sea is energetically stable against a single spin flip. Our variational wave function contains sufficient short-range correlation at least to the same level…
