We study dynamical properties of an ensemble of noninteracting particles in a time-dependent elliptical-like billiard. It was recently shown [Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 014103 (2008)] that for the nondissipative dynamics, the particle experiences unlimited energy growth. Here we show that inelastic colli...
