Review text

The author considers the bounce of a material point moving inside the convex subset \(C\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}.\) The motion is modeled by the differential inclusion \[ \ddot{x}(t)+ N_{C}(x(t)) \ni 0, \quad t>0, \tag{1} \] where \(N_{C}(x(t))\) denotes the outward normal cone to \(C\) at \(x(t).\) To any given elastic shock solution \(x(\cdot)\) of the differential inclusion (1) the bounce of the trajectory at a regular point of the boundary of \(C\) follows the Descartes law. Here, the bounce law is exhibited at the corners of the boundary.
