Nonexistence of Invariant Curves for Some Billiard Systems
摘要
A mathematical billiard consists of a planar region as a table and a ball moving on the table andreflecting from the boundary. By considering the motion as a discrete dynamical system,the billiard map is an area-preserving twist map.In this work, we show the result of nonexistence ofinvariant curves for two different billiard maps.The first result presents a sufficient condition for the nonexistence of invariant curves.In the second one, we prove the nonexistence of invariant curves near the boundary forHalpern’s billiard, which has a convergent billiard orbit.
