Deterministic Chaos in Sinaļ Billiard (1)



For more details, see the slides.
• Example in the "Sinaļ billiard" with one ball.
Description: On the figure 1, we have periodic boundary conditions. (if the ball leaves on the right, it comes back on the left, similarly for up/down). On figure 2, the same ball moves on the plane, and the billard is periodic so that we can observe its global motion.
  Observation:   the ball  has deterministic but unpredictable behavior. On figure 2, its seems to follow a random walk. Why?
