Invariance conjecture for the random refraction billiard walk
Invariance conjecture for the random refraction billiard walk
Consider the random refraction billiard walk in , started at , with direction and parameter . For , define the rescaled trajectories by
Invariance conjecture. For every , and , the rescaled trajectories , , converge to isotropic Brownian motion in . Simulations and preliminary results are said to suggest behavior similar to that of the random reflection billiard walk, but the conjecture remains unresolved.
