Abstract

We consider a Fermi–Ulam model describing a particle which moves freely between two parallel walls and is reflected elastically when hitting the walls. The walls are supposed to oscillate according to a given regular periodic function. We show that in high energy situation, the global dynamics of this model can be described by an exact area-preserving monotone twist map. Then the existence of abundant periodic orbits and quasi-periodic orbits is proved based on the Aubry–Mather theory.
