Polygonal billiards are an example of pseudo-chaotic dynamics, a combination of integrable evolution and sudden jumps due to conical singular points that arise from the corners of the polygons. Such pseudo-chaotic behaviour, often…
Analytically tractable dynamical systems exhibiting a whole range of normal and anomalous deterministic diffusion are rare. Here we introduce a simple non-chaotic model in terms of an interval exchange transformation suitably lifted onto…

In this paper, we show that billiard orbits in rational polygons and geodesics on translation surfaces exhibit super-fast spreading, an optimal time-quantitative majority property about the corresponding linear flow that implies uniformity…
From extensive numerical simulations, we find that periodic polygonal billiard channels with angles which are irrational multiples of pi generically exhibit normal diffusion (linear growth of the mean squared displacement) when they have a…
We present a dynamical analysis of a classical billiard chain -- a channel with parallel semi-circular walls, which can serve as a model for a bended optical fiber. An interesting feature of this model is the fact that the phase space…
We consider the motion of a particle subjected to the constant gravitational field and scattered inelasticaly by hard boundaries which possess the shape of parabola, wedge, and hyperbola. The billiard itself performs oscillations. The…
We study polygonal billiards with one-sided vertical mirror scattered on a square billiard table. We associate trajectories of these kinds of billiards with double rotations and study orbit behavior and questions of complexity.
We study billiard dynamics inside an ellipse for which the axes lengths are changed periodically in time and an $O(\delta)$-small quartic polynomial deformation is added to the boundary. In this situation the energy of the particle in the…
We discuss the interplay between the piece-line regular and vertex-angle singular boundary effects, related to integrability and chaotic features in rational polygonal billiards. The approach to controversial issue of regular and irregular…
In generic Hamiltonian systems with a mixed phase space chaotic transport may be directed and ballistic rather than diffusive. We investigate one particular model showing this behaviour, namely a spatially periodic billiard chain in which…
We develop a framework for dealing with smooth approximations to billiards with corners in the two-dimensional setting. Let a polygonal trajectory in a billiard start and end up at the same billiard's corner point. We prove that smooth…
Astute variations in the geometry of mathematical billiard tables have been and continue to be a source of understanding their wide range of dynamical behaviors, from regular to chaotic. Viewing standard specular billiards in the broader…
Dynamical billiards, or the behavior of a particle traveling in a planar region $D$ undergoing elastic collisions with the boundary, has been extensively studied and is used to model many physical phenomena such as a Boltzmann gas. Of…

Classical transport in a doubly connected polygonal billiard, i.e. the annulus square billiard, is considered. Dynamical properties of the billiard flow with a fixed initial direction are analyzed by means of the moments of arbitrary order…
