We prove that the general rotation set is convex and the set of all convex combinations of rotation vectors of periodic trajectory $P_\\phi$ is dense in it. We provide a constructive proof which illustrates that the set $P_\\phi$ is dense in the pointwise rotation set, and the closure of the pointwise rotation set is convex. We also consider a class of billiards consisting of three obstacles and construct a sequence in the symbol space such that its rotation vector is not defined.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-05-29T01:35:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "open billiards", "pointwise rotation set", "rotation vector", "general rotation set", "symbol space" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150507902A" } } }
