论文摘要
Dan Reznik通过计算机实验发现,许多保守数量与椭圆中的周期性台球轨迹相关。我们使用台球球图的非标准生成功能证明了他的一些观察结果。这样,我们还获得了一些对所有平滑凸台表的有效的身份。
Dan Reznik found, by computer experimentation, a number of conserved quantities associated with periodic billiard trajectories in ellipses. We prove some of his observations using a non-standard generating function for the billiard ball map. In this way, we also obtain some identities valid for all smooth convex billiard tables.
