Abstract

A systematic numerical technique for the calculation of unstable periodic orbits in the stadium billiard is presented. All of the periodic orbits up to order p=11 are calculated and then used to calculate the average Lyapunov exponent and the topological entropy. Applications to semiclassical quantization and to experiments in mesoscopic systems and microwave cavities are noted.
