A "drivebelt" stadium billiard with boundary consisting of circular arcs of differing radius connected by their common tangents shares many properties with the conventional "straight" stadium, including hyperbolicity and mixing, as well as…

In this paper we establish a kind of bijection between the orbits of a polygonal outer billiards system and the orbits of a related (and simpler to analyze) system called the pinwheel map. One consequence of the result is that the outer…

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…

In this paper we are concerned with the stability of equilibrium solutions of periodic Hamiltonian systems with one degree of freedom in the case of degeneracy, which means that the characteristic exponents of the linearized system have…

We consider the stability of periodic map with period-$2$ in linear fractional difference equations where the function is $f(x)=ax$ at even times and $f(x)=bx$ at odd times. The stability of such a map for an integer order map depends on…

We give an optical physicist view of the problem of the trajectories in a polygonal billiard using only basic facts of Optics and the theory of functions of a complex variable. This approach allow us to stablish a certain correspondence…

In this experimental work we study billiard trajectories in triangular pyramids and try to establish conditions that guarantee the existence (or absence) of 4-cycles (there can be not more, than three of them). We formulate conjectures and…

We introduce the iteration theory for periodic billiard trajectories in a compact and convex domain of the Euclidean space, and we apply it to establish a multiplicity result for non-iterated trajectories.

A circular Andreev billiard in a uniform magnetic field is studied. It is demonstrated that the classical dynamics is pseudointegrable in the same sense as for rational polygonal billiards. The relation to a specific polygon, the asymmetric…

The principle of linearized stability and instability is established for a classical model describing the spatial movement of an age-structured population with nonlinear vital rates. It is shown that the real parts of the eigenvalues of the…

In this paper, a new global exponential stability criterion is obtained for a general multidimensional delay difference equation using induction arguments. In the cases that the difference equation is periodic, we prove the existence of a…

The celebrated Hardy-Landau lower bound for the error term in the Gauss's circle problem can be viewed as an estimate from below for the remainder in Weyl's law on a square, with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. We prove an…

We classify the periodic digit strings which arise from periodic billiard orbits on the four convex $n$-gons $\Delta$ which tile $\mathbb{R}^2$ under reflection, answering problem a posed by Baxter and Umble. $\Delta$ is either an…

Motivated by the high-energy limit of the $N$-body problem we construct non-deterministic billiard process. The billiard table is the complement of a finite collection of linear subspaces within a Euclidean vector space. A trajectory is a…

We consider a billiard model of a self-bound, interacting three-body system in two spatial dimensions. Numerical studies show that the classical dynamics is chaotic. The corresponding quantum system displays spectral fluctuations that…

This paper deals with fundamental properties of Poincar\'e half-maps defined on a straight line for planar linear systems. Concretely, we focus on the analyticity of the Poincar\'e half-maps, their series expansions (Taylor and…

We consider the vertical motion of a free falling ball bouncing elastically on a racket moving in the vertical direction according to a regular $1$-periodic function $f$. For fixed coprime $p,q$ we study existence, stability in the sense of…

For three-dimensional piecewise-smooth systems of ordinary differential equations, this paper characterises the stability of points that belong to a switching surface and are equilibria of exactly one of the two neighbouring pieces of the…

The existence of an aperiodic orbit for an outer billiard outside a regular octagon is proved. Additionally, almost all orbits of such an outer billiard are proved to be periodic. All possible periods are explicitly listed.

Let $f: [0, +\infty) \to (0, +\infty)$ be a sufficiently smooth convex function, vanishing at infinity. Consider the planar domain $Q$ delimited by the positive $x$-semiaxis, the positive $y$-semiaxis, and the graph of $f$. Under certain…
