We obtain a precise asymptotic formula for the growth rate of periodic orbits of the geodesic flow over metrics on surfaces with negative curvature outside of a disjoint union of radially symmetric focusing caps of positive curvature. This extends results of G. Margulis and G. Knieper for negative and nonpositive curvature respectively.
Keywords: nonuniformly hyperbolic systems, periodic orbits., Geodesic flows.
