a ball is thrown from point A with  speed u and strikes at a point B  on the semispherical surface with  radius R and returns back to point A.  if the restitution coefficient of  the collision is e, find the minimum  speed u the ball must have and at  which angle 𝛉 the ball should be  thrown.

For u_(min)    I  got   φ=30°  t_1 =(√((2(√3)R)/g)){1±(√((1/e^2 )−1))}  u_(min) ^2 =(((R(√3))/(2t))+((gt)/4))^2 +((3(√3))/2)gR((1/e^2 )−1)

$${For}\:{u}_{{min}} \:\:\:{I}\:\:{got}\:\:\:\phi=\mathrm{30}° \\ $$$${t}_{\mathrm{1}} =\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{R}}{{g}}}\left\{\mathrm{1}\pm\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{e}^{\mathrm{2}} }−\mathrm{1}}\right\} \\ $$$${u}_{{min}} ^{\mathrm{2}} =\left(\frac{{R}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}{t}}+\frac{{gt}}{\mathrm{4}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\frac{\mathrm{3}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}}{gR}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{e}^{\mathrm{2}} }−\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$

do you mean that u_(min)  is always at  φ=30° indepentently from e?  i can′t confirm this sir.

following diagrams show different  situations for e=0.75.    generally:  for a given e∈(0,1] there exists an  u_(min) . for any u>u_(min)  there are four   possible ways how the ball returns  back to its starting position: two  ways clockwise and two counter−  clockwise.

First just assuming (without  proof) that u is u_(min)  when  least energy is lost upon collision.  Let just before collision   velocity   v_1 ^� =−qi^� −pj^�   and just after  v_2 ^� =−qi^� +epj^�   −△K =(p^2 /2)(1−e^2 )  This is minimum if p is  minimum.  But ball has to reach back ⇒  (e^2 p^2 )_(min) =2(gsin 2φ)R(1+cos 2φ)  say  2φ=θ , and  f(θ)=sin θ(1+cos θ)  f ′(θ)=cos θ+cos^2 θ−sin^2 θ             =2cos^2 θ+cos θ−1 =0  ⇒   cos 2φ=cos θ=−(1/4)±(√((1/(16))+(1/2)))  cos 2φ=cos θ=(1/2)  ⇒  φ=30°    Now from  (e^2 p^2 )_(min) =2(gsin 2φ)R(1+cos 2φ)  ⇒  p_(min) ^2 =((2/e^2 ))(((g(√3))/2))(((3R)/2))  p_(min) =(√((3(√3)gR)/(2e^2 )))  u_(y,min) ^2 =p_(min) ^2 −2(gsin 2φ)R(1+cos 2φ)              =((3(√3)gR)/(2e^2 ))−((3(√3)gR)/2)  u_(y,min) =(√((3(√3)gR(1−e^2 ))/(2e^2 )))  Rsin 2φ=u_x t_1 −(((gcos 2φ)/2))t_1 ^2   u_x =((R(√3))/(2t_1 ))+((gt_1 )/4)  t_1 =((p_(min) −u_(y,min) )/(gsin 2φ))=2(((p_(min) −u_(y,min) )/(g(√3))))  t_1 =(2/(g(√3)))((√((3(√3)gR)/(2e^2 ))) )(1±(√(1−e^2 )) )  u_(min) ^2 =(u_x ^2 +u_y ^2 )    with φ=30°    =(((R(√3))/(2t_1 ))+((gt_1 )/4))^2 +((3(√3)gR(1−e^2 ))/(2e^2 ))

Please review it Sir, it dont  seem to taly with your solution  and hence with the original  question, but yet i think it is  a nice question, and its answer  as i have derived, did have a  chance (i suspected) to yield   the same answer...

let me some time to follow your  working in detail. i think you  interpreted the question differently  as i did.  the question should ask  with which smallest speed one can  throw the ball into the bowl so that  it can return back to the start point.  e.g.  if e=0.75 the smallest speed is  1.6082(√(gR)) when the ball follows  following track:

for any other cases, i think also your  result, the ball needs more speed  than 1.6082(√(gR)).  if e=1, the smallest speed should be  0.9098(√(gR)).

acc. to your result, for e=1,  t_1 =(√((2(√3)R)/g))   u_(min)  =(((√3)/2)+((√(2(√3)))/4))(√(gR))≈1.3313(√(gR))  >0.9098(√(gR)) (what i got)

i think the least energy loss during  collision doesn′t mean the minimum  total energy the ball needs.

i think i have found the logic fault  in your solution:  with  But ball has to reach back ⇒  (e^2 p^2 )_(min) =2(gsin 2φ)R(1+cos 2φ)  we only ensure that the ball can reach  back its height (position in y−  direction), the ball may not come  back to its start point (also in x−  direction), so it is something like  this:
