Polygonal Billiards with One Sided Scattering
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 65 (2015) no. 5, p. 1881-1896

We study the billiard on a square billiard table with a one-sided vertical mirror. We associate trajectories of these billiards with double rotations and study orbit behavior and questions of complexity.

Nous étudions le billard sur une table carrée avec un miroir vertical à une face. Nous associons les trajectoires de ces billards à des doubles rotations et étudions le comportement des orbites et des questions de complexité.
