Abstract

We are interested in the possible existence of strictly convex ergodic billiards. Such billiards are searched for by means of numerical investigation. The boundary of a billiard is built with four arcs of classC∞. Adjacent arcs have equal curvatures at connecting points. The surface of section of the billiards is explored. It seems as if symmetric billiards always have invariant curves (islands). Asymmetric billiards have been found which look ergodic. They are built with an arc of an ellipse, two arcs of circles, and one-half of a Descartes oval.
