We apply periodic orbit theory to a two-dimensional non-integrable billiard system whose boundary is varied smoothly from a circular to an equilateral triangular shape. Although the classical dynamics becomes chaotic with increasing triangular deformation, it exhibits an astonishingly pronounced shell effect on its way through the shape transition. A semiclassical analysis reveals that this shell effect emerges from a codimension-two bifurcation of the triangular periodic orbit. Gutzwillers semiclassical trace formula, using a global uniform approximation for the bifurcation of the triangular orbit and including the contributions of the other isolated orbits, describes very well the coarse-grained quantum-mechanical level density of this system. We also discuss the role of discrete symmetry for the large shell effect obtained here.

Billiard systems offer a simple setting to study regular and chaotic dynamics. Gravitational billiards are generalizations of these classical billiards which are amenable to both analytical and experimental investigations. Most previous work on gravi
tational billiards has been concerned with two dimensional boundaries. In particular the case of linear boundaries, also known as the wedge billiard, has been widely studied. In this work, we introduce a three dimensional version of the wedge; that is, we study the nonlinear dynamics of a billiard in a constant gravitational field colliding elastically with a linear cone of half angle $theta$. We derive a two-dimensional Poincar{e} map with two parameters, the half angle of the cone and $ell$, the $z$-component of the billiards angular momentum. Although this map is sufficient to determine the future motion of the billiard, the three-dimensional nature of the physical trajectory means that a periodic orbit of the mapping does not always correspond to a periodic trajectory in coordinate space. We demonstrate several integrable cases of the parameter values, and analytically compute the systems fixed point, analyzing the stability of this orbit as a function of the parameters as well as its relation to the physical trajectory of the billiard. Next, we explore the phase space of the system numerically. We find that for small values of $ell$ the conic billiard exhibits behavior characteristic of two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems with a discontinuity, and the dynamics is qualitatively similar to that of the wedge billiard, although the correspondence is not exact. As we increase $ell$ the dynamics becomes on the whole less chaotic, and the correspondence with the wedge billiard is lost.
We study some statistical properties for the behavior of the average squared velocity -- hence the temperature -- for an ensemble of classical particles moving in a billiard whose boundary is time dependent. We assume the collisions of the particles
with the boundary of the billiard are inelastic leading the average squared velocity to reach a steady state dynamics for large enough time. The description of the stationary state is made by using two different approaches: (i) heat transfer motivated by the Fourier law and, (ii) billiard dynamics using either numerical simulations and theoretical description.
We study the collision between the cue and the ball in the game of billiards. After studying the collision process in detail, we write the (rotational) velocities of the ball and the cue after the collision. We also find the squirt angle of the ball
for an oblique collision which represents the deviation of the ball from the intended direction.
In generic Hamiltonian systems with a mixed phase space chaotic transport may be directed and ballistic rather than diffusive. We investigate one particular model showing this behaviour, namely a spatially periodic billiard chain in which electrons m
ove under the influence of a perpendicular magnetic field. We analyze the phase-space structure and derive an explicit expression for the chaotic transport velocity. Unlike previous studies of directed chaos our model has a parameter regime in which the dispersion of an ensemble of chaotic trajectories around its moving center of mass is essentially diffusive. We explain how in this limit the deterministic chaos reduces to a biased random walk in a billiard with a rough surface. The diffusion constant for this simplified model is calculated analytically.
This is an easy-to-read introduction to foundations of deterministic chaos, deterministic diffusion and anomalous diffusion. The first part introduces to deterministic chaos in one-dimensional maps in form of Ljapunov exponents and dynamical entropie
s. The second part outlines the concept of deterministic diffusion. Then the escape rate formalism for deterministic diffusion, which expresses the diffusion coefficient in terms of the above two chaos quantities, is worked out for a simple map. Part three explains basics of anomalous diffusion by demonstrating the stochastic approach of continuous time random walk theory for an intermittent map. As an example of experimental applications, the anomalous dynamics of biological cell migration is discussed.
