Symbolic dynamics of a piecewise rotation: case of the non symmetric bijective maps (Q1617245)

The authors study piecewise rotations of the plane. The plane is first divided into two halves; a map of this type is then created by setting it to be equal to some rotation on each half (both rotations are by the same angle, but the centers of rotation need not to coincide). The division of the plane into two halves gives rise in a natural way to symbolic dynamics. The authors analyse and describe the language of this dynamics for angles the \(\pi/2, 2\pi/3\), and \(\pi/4\).
