Periodic orbit sum rules for billiards: accelerating cycle expansions

We show that the periodic orbit sums for two-dimensional billiards satisfy an infinity of exact sum rules. We demonstrate their utility by using the flow conservation sum rule to accelerate the convergence of cycle expansions for the overlapping three-disc billiard. The effectiveness of the approach is studied by applying the method on averages, known explicitly by other sum rules. The method is then applied to the Lyapunov exponent.
