A piecewise smooth Fermi–Ulam pingpong with potential
Keyword(s):
Abstract In this paper we study a Fermi–Ulam model where a pingpong ball bounces elastically against a periodically oscillating platform in a gravity field. We assume that the platform motion $f(t)$ is 1-periodic and piecewise $C^3$ with a singularity, $\dot {f}(0+)\ne \dot {f}(1-)$ . If the second derivative $\ddot {f}(t)$ of the platform motion is either always positive or always less than $-g$ , where g is the gravitational constant, then the escaping orbits constitute a null set and the system is recurrent. However, under these assumptions, escaping orbits co-exist with bounded orbits at arbitrarily high energy levels.
