On Estimates of the Number of Collisions for Billiards in Polyhedral Angles
نویسنده
چکیده
We obtain an upper bound of the number of collisions of any billiard trajectory in a polyhedral angle in terms of the minimal eigenvalue of a positive definite matrix which characterizes the angle. Elements of the matrix are scalar products between the unit normal vectors of faces of the angle.

Pointwise a Posteriori Error Estimates for the Stokes Equations in Polyhedral Domains
Abstract. We derive pointwise a posteriori residual-based error estimates for finite element solutions to the Stokes equations in polyhedral domains. The estimates relies on the regularity of the of Stokes equations and provide an upper bound for the pointwise error in the velocity field on polyhedral domains. Whereas the estimates provide upper bounds for the pointwise error in the gradient of...
متن کاملTwo-particle circular billiards versus randomly perturbed one-particle circular billiards.
We study a two-particle circular billiard containing two finite-size circular particles that collide elastically with the billiard boundary and with each other. Such a two-particle circular billiard provides a clean example of an "intermittent" system. This billiard system behaves chaotically, but the time scale on which chaos manifests can become arbitrarily long as the sizes of the confined p...
متن کاملSynthesis, Characterization and Application of Zinc Oxide with Micro Polyhedral and Nano Plate Morphologies for Simultaneous Decolorization of Two- dye Mixture in Wastewater
In this work, growth and assembly of the micro polyhedral zinc oxide was performed using airbubble assisted Triton X100, as a templating agent. In absence of air bubbling in the reactionsystem the nano plate zinc oxide was synthesized. The prepared samples were characterized by Xraydiffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and UV-Visspectrop...
متن کاملBilliards correlation functions ?
We discuss various experiments on the time decay of velocity autocorrelation functions in billiards. We perform new experiments and nd results which are compatible with an exponential mixing hypothesis, rst put forward by Friedman and Martin, FM]: they do not seem compatible with the stretched exponentials believed, in spite of FM] and more recently of Chernov, C], to describe the mixing. The a...
متن کاملCorrelations for pairs of periodic trajectories for open billiards
In this paper we prove two asymptotic estimates for pairs of closed trajectories for open billiards similar to those established by Pollicott and Sharp [PoS2] for closed geodesics on negatively curved compact surfaces. The first of these estimates holds for general open billiards in any dimension. The more intricate second estimate is established for open billiards satisfying the so called Dolg...
