Existence of 3-periodic orbits for polygonal outer length billiards
Existence of 3-periodic orbits for polygonal outer length billiards
Let be a polygon, and consider its outer length billiard, including its periodic orbits and their lengths. 3-periodic orbit conjecture. Every polygonal outer length billiard admits a periodic orbit of length . This is known for triangular tables, while the general case is supported by computer experiments and remains open.
