Abstract

It is shown that, contrary to conventional wisdom, the Newtonian and relativistic predicted trajectories for a low-speed delta-kicked dissipative system can eventually disagree completely. Similar results were found previously for two non-dissipative systems: Chaos 16 (2006) 033107 and NPA 2006 Proceedings.
