Abstract
The effect of rounded edges in the rectangular billiard is analyzed via the escape times statistic. Such realistic and sometimes intrinsic edges are shown to generate autosimilar structures and power law decays for the escape times statistic. As the rounding effects increase, stickiness and long lived trajectories are observed. Rounding edges of around 0.01% → 1% from the whole billiard size generate the sticky motion.
