Obtuse Triangular Billiards I: Near the (2, 3, 6) Triangle

Pages 161-182 | Published online: 30 Jan 2011
 

Abstract

Let Sε denote the set of Euclidean triangles whose two small angles are within ε radians of and respectively. In this paper we prove two complementary theorems: (1) For any ε > 0 there exists a triangle in Sε that has no periodic billiard path of combinatorial length less than 1/ε. (2) Every triangle in S 1/400 has a periodic billiard path.
