[en] Two control results are described: 1) local tracking control for convex billiards with piecewise locally Lipschitz boundary, and 2) global tracking control for special polyhedral billiards, including rectangles and equilateral triangles. The controllers are based on Lyapunov functions and a mirroring concept introduced in a companion paper. The local results require the impacts to satisfy an average dwell-time condition with parameters that depend on the Lipschitz constant of the function that characterizes the boundary. For piecewise constant boundary, and for the global results, the average dwell-time parameters are arbitrary. Tools from stability analysis for hybrid systems are used to establish the results.
