Abstract
Numerical study of the motion of a classical particle in a homogeneous gravitational
field bouncing off elastically from a piecewise linear periodic boundary shows that it is
characterized by diffusion constant, but nonlinear scaling of the mean-square displacement
is also observed. It is shown that periodic by modulus trajectories cannot have a segment
with vertical flight.
