Mirror Curves

Abstract: Abstract To solve the generalized billiard problem we used the generalized reflection method. This method is based on the calculation of M, the mirror image point of the position of the first ball. Point M moves as we move point T along the boundary of the billiard cushion shape, (see Chapter 7, Figure 7.2). M traces a mirror curve, which depends on the change of the tangent line at point T. This mirror curve is dependent on the position of point P and the shape of the billiard cushion.
