Outer billiards is a dynamical system based on a convex shape in the plane. Classically, this system is defined for the Euclidean plane[1] but one can also consider the system in the hyperbolic plane[2] or in other spaces that suitably generalize the plane. Outer billiards differs from a usual dynamical billiard in that it deals with a discrete sequence of moves outside the shape rather than inside of it.
