Elliptic Quantum Billiard
The exact and semiclassical quantum mechanics of the elliptic billiard is investigated. The classical system is integrable and exhibits a separatrix, dividing the phase space into regions of oscillatory and rotational motion. The classical separability carries over to quantum mechanics, and the Schrödinger equation is shown to be equivalent to the spheroidal wave equation. The quantum eigenvalu...
متن کاملNonpersistence of Resonant Caustics in Perturbed Elliptic Billiards
Caustics are curves with the property that a billiard trajectory, once tangent to it, stays tangent after every reflection at the boundary of the billiard table. When the billiard table is an ellipse, any nonsingular billiard trajectory has a caustic, which can be either a confocal ellipse or a confocal hyperbola. Resonant caustics —the ones whose tangent trajectories are closed polygons— are d...
متن کاملComplex Billiard Hamiltonian Systems and Nonlinear Waves
There is a deep connection between solutions of nonlinear equations and both geodesic flows and billiards on Riemannian manifolds. For example, in Alber, Camassa, Holm and Marsden [1995], a link between umbilic geodesics and billiards on n-dimensional quadrics and new soliton-like solutions of nonlinear equations in the Dym hierarchy was investigated. The geodesic flows provide the spatial x-fl...
متن کاملA Billiard Metaphor for Exploring Complex Graphs
Exploring and revealing relations between the elements is a frequent task in exploratory analysis and search. Examples include that of correlations of attributes in complex data sets, or faceted search. Common visual representations for such relations are directed graphs or correlation matrices. These types of visual encodings are often if not always fully constructed before being shown to the ...
متن کاملStylized Caustics: Progressive Rendering of Animated Caustics
In recent years, much work was devoted to the design of light editing methods such as relighting and light path editing. So far, little work addressed the target-based manipulation and animation of caustics, for instance to a differently-shaped caustic, text or an image. The aim of this work is the animation of caustics by blending towards a given target irradiance distribution. This enables an...
