Abstract

We consider systems of finitely many interacting particles in a cube with a separating wall having a big mass M (adiabatic piston). Assuming that the particles reflect elastically from the ball and the initial velocity of the piston is zero we prove that as M tends to infinity the dynamics of the piston converges to periodic oscillations.
