In this paper, the authors investigate invariant circles for a one-parameter family of piecewise linear twist homeomorphisms of the annulus and classify them into families, showing that invariant circle of all types and rotation numbers occur.
Abstract
We investigate invariant circles for a one-parameter family of piecewise linear twist homeomorphisms of the annulus. We show that invariant circles of all types and rotation numbers occur and we classify them into families. We compute parameter ranges in which there are no invariant circles.

Time-reversal symmetry in dynamical systems: a survey

TL;DR: A survey of time-reversal symmetry in dynamical systems can be found in this paper, where the relation of time reversible dynamical sytems to equivariant and Hamiltonian systems is discussed.

Greene's residue criterion

Robert S. MacKay
- 01 Jan 1992 - 
TL;DR: In this article, four results are proved which go a long way towards placing the criterion on a rigorous foundation, and the issues remaining to be resolved in order to formulate a rigorous version of the criterion are discussed.

Destruction of invariant circles

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that arbitrarily close to in the C ∞ topology there exists a diffeomorphism with no homotopically non-trivial invariant circle of rotation number ω.

A linear code for the sawtooth and cat maps

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a symbolic dynamics for the sawtooth maps in which the symbols are integers, related to a practical problem of the stabilisation of a system which is perturbed by impulses.

A method for determining a stochastic transition

TL;DR: In this article, the existence of a KAM surface is assumed to be associated with a sudden change from stability to instability of nearby periodic orbits, which is consistent with all that is known, strongly supported by numerical results.

Proof of a theorem of a.?n.?kolmogorov on the invariance of quasi-periodic motions under small perturbations of the hamiltonian

TL;DR: In this paper, the rotatory motion of a heavy asymmetric rigid body is studied and the theorems of the rotational motion of such a rigid body are formulated and proved.

Transport in Hamiltonian systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a theory of transport in Hamiltonian systems in the context of iteration of area-preserving maps, where invariant closed curves present complete barriers to transport, but in regions without such curves there are invariant Cantor sets named cantori, which appear to form partial barriers.

The discrete Frenkel-Kontorova model and its extensions: I. Exact results for the ground-states

TL;DR: A rigorous study of the ground states of one-dimensional models generalizing the discrete Frenkel-Kontorova model has been presented in this article, where the extremalization equations of the energy of these models turn out to define area preserving twist maps which exhibits periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic orbits.

Existence of quasi-periodic orbits for twist homeomorphisms of the annulus

TL;DR: Percival et al. as discussed by the authors defined a set of properties of a pair of nodes, where the nodes correspond to the nodes in a graph and the vertices correspond to nodes in the graph.
