Abstract

The bouncing-ball problem was studied both experimentally and numerically. A qualitatively new behavior---so-called ``self-reanimating'' chaos---was found. In the experiment this behavior can be regarded as fully chaotic, but treated as regular motion (a cycle of large period) in the analytical approach.
