Renormalization in a variety of quasiperiodically forced systems

This thesis is based on the application of renormalization group techniques to examine a variety of characteristics of quasiperiodically forced systems. The initial focus of the work is symmetric barrier billiards, a pseudo-integrable system consisting of a particle moving at constant speed in a rec...
