Scaling Invariance in a Time-Dependent elliptical Billiard

We study some dynamical properties of a classical time-dependent elliptical billiard. We consider periodically moving boundary and collisions between the particle and the boundary are assumed to be elastic. Our results confirm that although the static elliptical billiard is an integrable system, after introducing time-dependent perturbation on the boundary the unlimited energy growth is observed. The behavior of the average velocity is described using scaling arguments.
