A Graphical User Interface to Simulate Classical Billiard Systems | | Steven Lansel

They have not only been in used in mathematical disciplines such as ergodic theory, but their properties demonstrate fundamental physical phenomena that can be observed in laboratory settings. This document provides instructions for a Matlab module that simulates classical billiard systems. It is intended to be used as both a research and teaching tool. At present, the program efficiently simulates tables that are constructed entirely from line segments and elliptical arcs. It functions less reliably for tables with more complex boundary components. The program and documentation can be downloaded from extit{http://www.math.gatech.edu/$sim$mason/papers/}. | | Source: | arXiv, nlin.CD/0405003 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
