The dynamics of the model is described in terms of a two-dimensional, nonlinear area-contracting map. The dissipation is introduced via inelastic collisions of the particle with the walls and we consider the dynamics in the regime of high dissipation. For such a regime, the model exhibits a route to chaos known as period doubling and we obtain a constant along the bifurcations so called the Feigenbaum's number delta.62-64engBouncing Ball ModelDissipationLyapunov ExponentFeigenbaum numberArtigo10.1590/S0103-97332008000100012S0103-97332008000100012WOS:000254521800012Acesso abertoS0103-97332008000100012.pdf61306442327186100000-0001-8224-3329
