Pinball billiards with dominated splitting
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the dynamics of a type of nonconservative billiards where the ball is “kicked” by the wall giving a new impulse in the direction of the normal. For different types of billiard tables we study the existence of attractors with dominated splitting.

Bifurcations of periodic and chaotic attractors in pinball billiards with focusing boundaries
We study the dynamics of billiard models with a modified collision rule: the outgoing angle from a collision is a uniform contraction, by a factor λ , of the incident angle. These pinball billiards interpolate between a one-dimensional map when λ = 0 and the classical Hamiltonian case of elastic collisions when λ = 1. For all λ < 1, the dynamics is dissipative, and thus gives rise to attractors...
متن کاملLIMIT AVERAGE SHADOWING AND DOMINATED SPLITTING
In this paper the notion of limit average shadowing property is introduced for diffeomorphisms on a compact smooth manifold M and a class of diffeomorphisms is given which has the limit average shadowing property, but does not have the shadowing property. Moreover, we prove that for a closed f-invariant set Lambda of a diffeomorphism f, if Lambda is C1-stably limit average shadowing and t...
متن کاملChaotic dynamics of a ski slope with a magnetic mogul field
The game of Plinko, as seen on the CBS television show The Price Is Right, demonstrates rich chaotic dynamics as evidenced by a strong sensitivity to initial conditions. This behavior can be readily observed by watching repeated runs of the Plinko puck and noting the final location of the puck once it has passed through the peg lattice: despite the fact that many runs often start nearly co-loca...
متن کاملSlow relaxation in weakly open vertex-splitting rational polygons
The problem of splitting effects by vertex angles is discussed for nonintegrable rational polygonal billiards. A statistical analysis of the decay dynamics in weakly open polygons is given through the orbit survival probability. Two distinct channels for the late-time relaxation of type tδ are established. The primary channel, associated with the universal relaxation of ”regular” orbits, with δ...
متن کاملApproximating multi-dimensional Hamiltonian flows by billiards
The behavior of a point particle traveling with a constant speed in a region D ∈ RN , undergoing elastic collisions at the regions’s boundary, is known as the billiard problem. Various billiard models serve as approximation to the classical and semi-classical motion in systems with steep potentials (e.g. for studying classical molecular dynamics, cold atom’s motion in dark optical traps and mic...
