Abstract :
We present in this work a numerical study of the dynamics of ensembles of point particles within a polygonal billiard chain. This billiard is a system with no exponential instability. Our numerical results suggest that some members of the family exhibit normal diffusive behavior while others present anomalous diffusion. Our conclusions are drawn from the numerical evaluation of the mean square displacement, the velocity autocorrelation function and its spectral analysis. Furthermore we analyze the properties of the incoherent scattering function. The super Burnett coefficient seems to be ill defined in all systems. The multifractal analysis of the spectrum of the velocity autocorrelation functions is also reported. Finally, we study the heat conduction in our polygonal chain.
