Abstract: We consider a random billiard map, the one in which the standard specular reflection rule is replaced by a random reflection given by a Markov operator. We exhibit an invariant measure for random billiards on general tables. In the special case of a circular table we show that almost every (random) orbit is dense in the boundary as well as in the circular ring formed between the circle boundary and the random caustic. We additionally prove Strong Knudsen's Law for a particular case of families of absolutely continuous measures with respect to Liouville.
