Abstract
We briefly describe the state-of-the-art concerning Fermi acceleration in twodimensional driven billiards by reviewing the corresponding literature with a focus on our recent work on the time-dependent ellipse and some new results on the breathing mode of a certain oval billiard. In a way, these two systems represent the “missing links” in the studies of two-dimensional driven billiards and help to clarify the conditions under which Fermi acceleration will arise.
