I thank Domingo Toledo who acquainted me with his unpublished \(\mathbb{C}\)-convexity result and also suggested several corrections and improvement in the present manuscript. I am also thankful to John Franks and Jarek Kwapisz who instructed me on the (relatively) recent development in the theory of hyperbolic, in particular pseudo-Anosov, systems associated with B.
