摘要
We give a simple proof of the result of Tumanov and Zharnitsky (Int Math Res Not,2006) that the set of period 4 orbits in planar outer billiard with piecewise smooth convex boundary has empty interior, provided that no four corners of the boundary form a parallelogram. We also obtain results on period 5 and 6 orbits.
