Periodic orbit sum rules for billiards: Accelerating cycle expansions

chao-dyn 2009-10-31 v1 Chaotic Dynamics

Abstract

We show that the periodic orbit sums for 2-dimensional billiards satisfy an infinity of exact sum rules. We test such sum rules and demonstrate that they can be used to accelerate the convergence of cycle expansions for averages such as Lyapunov exponents.
