For the point on the unit circle, we construct a line from it in a counterclockwise direction tangent to the triangle, and examine a map corresponding to the point of intersection with the circle. We provide sufficient conditions for the rotation number $\\rho$ of this map to be $\\frac{2}{5}$, as well as necessary conditions for $\\rho=\\frac{2}{5}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-04-17T10:57:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37E10", "37E45", "51M09" ], "keywords": [ "unit circle", "trajectory", "bar billiards problem", "necessary conditions", "sufficient conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
