Limit Sets of Convex non Elastic Billiards

arXiv:1009.4187

Abstract

Inspired by the work of Pujals and Sambarino on dominated splitting, we present billiards with a modified reflection law which constitute simple examples of dynamical systems with limit sets with dominated splitting and where the dynamics is a rational or irrational rotation.
