Abstract:
We introduce piecewise convex transformations, and develop geometric tools to study their complexity. We apply the results to the complexity of polygonal inner and outer billiards on surfaces of constant curvature.
Key words and phrases:
Geodesic polygon, constant curvature, complexity, inner billiard, outer billiard.
