| Feb 22, 2015 at 23:43 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | @Eckhard: Good! Then clearly we need calculations to settle the issue for $e^{-x}$. It seems clear to me that some function will prevent the rays from bouncing to $x=\infty$, even if $e^{-x}$ does not.... Oh, I see Robert Israel has weighed in with calculations. | |
| Feb 22, 2015 at 23:25 | comment | added | Eckhard | Just as empirically, I believe that numerical calculations are consistent with a logarithmic divergence of the $n$th reflection abscissa. | |

Added "quickly" because if slowly, then maybe would diverge.
