Time-Dependent Circular Billiard
We investigate a time-dependent circular billiard with a two-frequency driving function and derive a new simplified form for the map, which is a symplectic nontwist map. Stability boundaries and reconnection thresholds are derived for fixed points and period-two vortex pairs. An island interspersal...
