Bounds for Minkowski Billiard Trajectories in Convex Bodies

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper we use the Ekeland-Hofer-Zehnder symplectic capacity to provide several bounds and inequalities for the length of the shortest periodic billiard trajectory in a smooth convex body in Rn{\mathbb R}^{n}. Our results hold both for classical billiards, as well as for the more general case of Minkowski billiards.
