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…
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…
Polygonal billiards exhibit a rich and complex dynamical behavior. In recent years polygonal billiards have attracted great attention due to their application in the understanding of anomalous transport, but also at the fundamental level,…
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…
We investigate statistical properties of several classes of periodic billiard models which are diffusive. An introductory chapter gives motivation, and then a review of statistical properties of dynamical systems is given in chapter 2. In…
We study diffusion on a periodic billiard table with infinite horizon in the limit of narrow corridors. An effective trapping mechanism emerges according to which the process can be modeled by a L\'evy walk combining…
The changeover from normal to super diffusion in time dependent billiards is explained analytically. The unlimited energy growth for an ensemble of bouncing particles in time dependent billiards is obtained by means of a two dimensional…
We study the statistics of the linear flow in a punctured honeycomb lattice, or equivalently the free motion of a particle on a regular hexagonal billiard table with holes of equal size at the corners and obeying the customary reflection…
We investigate the transmission and reflection survival probabilities for the chaotic stadium billiard with two holes placed asymmetrically. Classically, these distributions are shown to have algebraic or exponential decays depending on the…
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 a class of random billiards in a tube, where reflection angles at collisions with the boundary of the tube are random variables rather than deterministic (and elastic) quantities. We obtain a (non-standard) Central Limit Theorem…
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…
Let $\ell \geq 2$ be an integer. For each $\eps >0$ remove from $\R^2$ the union of discs of radius $\eps$ centered at the integer lattice points $(m,n$, with $m\nequiv n\mod{\ell}$. Consider a point-like particle moving linearly at unit…
The quantum dynamics of a chaotic billiard with moving boundary is considered in this work. We found a shape parameter Hamiltonian expansion which enables us to obtain the spectrum of the deformed billiard for deformations so large as the…
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 study nonlinear dynamics of the kicked particle whose motion is confined by square billiard. The kick source is considered as localized at the center of square with central symmetric spatial distribution. It is found that ensemble…
We show that particle transport in a uniform, quantum multi-baker map, is generically ballistic in the long time limit, for any fixed value of Planck's constant. However, for fixed times, the semi-classical limit leads to diffusion. Random…
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…
We consider the long time dependence for the moments of displacement < |r|^q > of infinite horizon billiards, given a bounded initial distribution of particles. For a variety of billiard models we find <|r|^q> ~ t^g(q) (up to factors of log…
We study analytically and numerically the classical diffusive process which takes place in a chaotic billiard. This allows to estimate the conditions under which the statistical properties of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions can be described…
