Types of triangles admitting periodic billiard orbits
It is an open problem in dynamical systems if every triangle has a periodic billiard orbit. So far it has been proven that equilateral triangles, isosceles triangles, right triangles, and obtuse tria …

Conditions required for the orbit of a set of positive measure to cover state space?
Suppose $(X, \mathcal{M}, \mu, T)$ is a measure-preserving dynamical system with $T$ invertible.
I am wondering what properties the dynamical system would need to have in order for the following to be …

Why is the billiard problem for obtuse triangles so hard?
This is an incredibly naive question so this may be closed. Nevertheless, I have been reading about the problem asking if every obtuse triangle admits a periodic billiard path, which has been open fo …

Determining the behavior of a contraction mapping with undefined points
Label $X$ as the real interval $[0, a]$ where $a \in \mathbb{R}^+$, so that $\text{int}(X) = (0, a)$ labels the interior of $X$ and $\partial X$ labels the boundary of $X$. I have a function $f:\text …
