Abstract

We present an existence theorem for certain kinds of orbits of a monotone twist map and use it to obtain a criterion for proving that there are no invariant circles with a certain range of rotation numbers. We have used this criterion to prove (computer assisted) that the standard map has no invariant circles for several parameter values including k = 0.9718.
