Abstract

This paper investigates the behaviour of open billiard systems in high-dimensional spaces. Specifically, we estimate the largest Lyapunov exponent, which quantifies the rate of divergence between nearby trajectories in a dynamical system. This exponent is shown to be continuous and differentiable with respect to a small perturbation parameter. A theoretical analysis forms the basis of the investigation. Our findings contribute to the field of dynamical systems theory and have significant implications for the stability of open billiard systems, which are used to model physical phenomena. The results provide a deeper comprehension of the behaviour of open billiard systems in high-dimensional spaces and emphasise the importance of taking small perturbations into consideration when analysing these systems.
