Stochastic Billiards on General Tables
We consider stochastic analogues of classical billiard systems. A particle moves at unit speed with constant direction in the interior of a bounded, d{dimensional regionwith continuouslydi erentiableboundary. The boundary need not be connected; that is, the \table" may have interior \obstacles". When the particle strikes the boundary, a new direction is chosen uniformly at random from the direc...
متن کاملMarkov Towers and Stochastic Properties of Billiards
Markov partitions work most efficiently for Anosov systems or for Axiom A systems. However, for hyperbolic dynamical systems which are either singular or whose hyperbolicity is nonuniform, the construction of a Markov partition, which in these cases is necessarily countable, is a rather delicate issue even when such a construction exists. An additional problem is the use of a countable Markov p...
متن کاملStochastic Monotonicity in Intergenerational Mobility Tables
The aim of this paper is to test for stochastic monotonicity in intergenerational socio-economic mobility tables. In other words we question whether having a parent from a high socio-economic status is never worse than having one with a lower status. Using existing inferential procedures for testing unconditional stochastic monotonicity, we first test a set of 149 intergenerational mobility tab...
متن کاملOuter Billiards on Kites
1 Preface Outer billiards is a basic dynamical system defined relative to a convex shape in the plane. B.H. Neumann introduced outer billiards in the 1950s, and J. Moser popularized outer billiards in the 1970s as a toy model for celestial mechanics. Outer billiards is an appealing dynamical system because of its simplicity and also because of its connection to such topics as interval exchange ...
متن کاملA boundary integral formalism for stochastic ray tracing in billiards.
Determining the flow of rays or non-interacting particles driven by a force or velocity field is fundamental to modelling many physical processes. These include particle flows arising in fluid mechanics and ray flows arising in the geometrical optics limit of linear wave equations. In many practical applications, the driving field is not known exactly and the dynamics are determined only up to ...
