Controllability for a class of area-preserving twist maps

In this paper, we study controllability of two-dimensional integrable twist maps with bounded area-preserving time-dependent (control) perturbations. In contrast to the time-independent perturbation case of the Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser theorem, there are no invariant sets other than the whole phase space if the perturbation is made a function of time. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for global controllability of these maps.
