Billiard Simulator
This is the updated version of a GUI to simulate billiard systems on Matlab. The original release is at
https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/10692-billiard-simulator__;!!KIFmrYtlezdzESbnm_I!Vaz1YXKDZN6X8HhH6QyFuHXmyHESWonqlMDOD1cn8A3ARaMr_kBogpS1cpARg3lkRAjDNd8rSOGkS-c$, which was written for general research in billiard dynamical systems. This update released in 2020 includes a new billiard table known as the Asymmetrical Lemon Billiard as well as the related Positive Lyapunov Exponent function for this new domain. The asymmetrical lemon shape allows the user to create a billiard table with major and minor arcs of different radii.
