Extract

A particle is free to move on a smooth horizontal circular table having a circular insurmountable barrier Γ. The particle is projected from a point P of the table and it subsequently suffers reflections at the points P1, P2, P3, … on Γ due to elastic impact. Investigations are made of the possibility of its passing again through P at some stage.
