Mathematical Billiards
Grigoriy Yakovlev
Abstract
This paper considers planar mathematical billiards with smooth billiard tables. We prove that through any point outside a convex smooth caustic, there passes a unique billiard table (Lemma 2). Furthermore, we describe a billiard table having a nephroid as its caustic.
