Cayley-Type Conditions for Billiards within Quadrics in
The notions of reflection from outside, reflection from inside and signature
of a billiard trajectory within a quadric are introduced. Cayley-type
conditions for periodical trajectories for the billiard in the region bounded
by quadrics in and for the billiard ordered game within
ellipsoids in are derived. In a limit, the condition describing periodic
trajectories of billiard systems on a quadric in is obtained.Comment: 10 pages, some corractions are made in Section
