I know that my question is more practical than theoretical. But, I do know where to look for the theoretical sources.
I want to find a program in the case that it exists (does it?), or to program it. Here is my question: Can you give me a suggestion to program it? In particular, which software would you recommend me to use. I am also interested in any source of pictures of Markov partitions for toral automorphism in $\mathbb{T}^2$ (I would like to see other examples and their iterations rather than the classical by Weiss and Adler).
I want my program to do this:
Inputs:
i. A toral automorphism $T:\mathbb{T}^2\doteq\mathbb{R}^2/\mathbb{Z}^2\to \mathbb{T}^2$, i.e. a map that has linear lifting $L:\mathbb{R}^2\to \mathbb{R}^2$ without eigenvalues of modulus 1.
ii. A Markov partition $\alpha$. I want to see the image of $\mathbb{T}^2$ colored by $\alpha$.
iii. A positive integer $n$.
Output:
Plot of $T^n(\alpha)$. I want to see the image of $T^n(\mathbb{T}^2)$ when $\mathbb{T}^2$ was colored by $\alpha$.
Another question that I have. In the case that I had this program (that it assumes that we are able to find the Markov partition $\alpha$). Do you think that it will help to find Markov partitions (if instead of having a Markov partition as an input I put any topological partition)?
