Generalized relativistic billiards
Author(s): Deryabin M. V., Pustyl'nikov L. D.
We study the periodic and "monotone" action of the boundary for the particle moving in a parallelepiped and in an arbitrary compact domain respectively, and we also consider an "accelerating" model in an unbounded domain. We prove that under some general conditions an invariant manifold in the velocity phase space of the generalized billiard, where the particle velocity equals the velocity of light, either is an exponential attractor or contains one. Thus for an open set of initial conditions the particle energy tends to infinity.
