Abstract
The billiard problem consists in the free motion of a point particle inside a region bounded by a closed curve, making elastic collisions at the impacts with the boundary. This problem defines a very special class of discrete dynamical systems. In this talk I will present some results about the generic dynamics for billiards inside strictly convex curves.Location Centre de Recerca Matemàtica
