This paper deals with explicit expressions for the ellipsoidal billiard with a quadratic (Hooke) potential, its representation in Lax form, the generating function (a discrete Lagrangian) of the restriction billiard map to a level set of an energy type integral, and a theta function solution. The author shows that ading a quadratic potential to the billiard changes the geometric and symplectic properties of this discrete system dramatically. To this end, he uses the calculation of limit values of meromorphic functions on generalized Jacobians.
