Abstract
Consider an annulus A with coordinates \((\theta,r)\), \(\theta + 2\pi \equiv \theta \), \(r \in [a,b]\). A map \((\theta,r)\mapsto ({\theta }_{1},{r}_{1})\) is twist if it satisfies \(\frac{\partial {\theta }_{1}} {\partial r} > 0\). Twist maps have been extensively studied and they are useful to understand the dynamics of autonomous or periodic Hamiltonian systems. In this course we study twist maps without assuming periodicity in θ. In other words, the annulus A is replaced by a strip \(S = \mathbb{R} \times [a,b]\). This new class of twist maps can be applied to the study of generalized standard maps or ping-pong models with a general non-autonomous time dependence.
