Higher order terms of Mather's $\beta$-function for symplectic and outer billiards

Dynamical Systems 2023-11-03 v1

Abstract

We compute explicitly the higher order terms of the formal Taylor expansion of Mather's β\beta-function for symplectic and outer billiards in a strictly-convex planar domain CC. In particular, we specify the third terms of the asymptotic expansions of the distance (in the sense of the symmetric difference metric) between CC and its best approximating inscribed or circumscribed polygons with at most nn vertices. We use tools from affine differential geometry.
