Explicit examples are calculated in circles, ellipses, and the one parameter family of curves $x^{2k}+y^{2k}=1$. Comparisons are made to the linear stability of periodic billiard and magnetic billiard trajectories.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-06-10T11:49:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37J25", "37J46", "78A35" ], "keywords": [ "periodic trajectories", "linear stability", "planar inverse magnetic billiards", "straight lines inside", "magnetic billiard trajectories" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
