Abstract
Let be a Riemannian manifold, a domain with boundary , and a smooth function such that , , and . We study the geodesic flow of the metric . The -distance from any point of to is finite, hence the geodesic flow is incomplete. Regularization of the flow in a neighborhood of establishes a natural reflection law from . This leads to a certain billiard problem in .
