On the multiplicity of non-iterated periodic billiard trajectories

Marco Mazzucchelli

Vol. 252 (2011), No. 1, 181–205
Abstract

We introduce an iteration theory for periodic billiard trajectories in a compact and convex domain of the Euclidean space, and we apply it to establish a multiplicity result for non-iterated trajectories.

Keywords
billiards, Morse theory, iteration of periodic trajectories
