Big islands in dispersing billiard-like potentials
We derive a rigorous estimate of the size of islands (in both phase space and parameter space) appearing in smooth Hamiltonian approximations of scattering billiards. The derivation includes the construction of a local return map near singular periodic orbits for an arbitrary scattering billiard and for the general smooth billiard potentials. Thus, universality classes for the local behavior ar...
متن کاملMulti Dimensional Billiard-like Potentials
Imagine a point particle travelling freely (without friction) on a table, undergoing elastic collisions with the edges of the table. The table is just a bounded region of the plane. This model resembles a game of billiards (or pool) but it looks much simpler we have only one ball, which is a dimensionless point particle. There is no friction and the table has no pockets. However, the shape of t...
متن کاملDispersing brush mice prefer habitat like home.
During natal dispersal, young animals leave their natal area and search for a new area to live. In species in which individuals inhabit different types of habitat, experience with a natal habitat may increase the probability that a disperser will select the same type of habitat post-dispersal (natal habitat preference induction or NHPI). Despite considerable interest in the ecological and the e...
متن کاملDecay of correlations and invariance principles for dispersing billiards with cusps, and related planar billiard flows
Following recent work of Chernov, Markarian, and Zhang, it is known that the billiard map for dispersing billiards with zero angle cusps has slow decay of correlations with rate 1/n. Since the collisions inside a cusp occur in quick succession, it is reasonable to expect a much faster decay rate in continuous time. In this paper we prove that the flow is rapid mixing: correlations decay faster ...
متن کاملSignalling through pigment dispersing hormone-like peptides in invertebrates.
During recent decades, several research teams engaged in unraveling the molecular structure and the physiological significance of pigment dispersing hormone-like peptides, particularly with respect to colour change and biological rhythms. In this review, we first summarise the entire history of pigment dispersing hormone-like peptide research, thus providing a stepping stone for those who are c...
