Abstract

In this article we consider twist maps that are non-periodic (and hence are defined on the plane rather than on the cylinder) and have small twist at infinity. Under natural assumptions the existence of infinitely many bounded orbits is established, and furthermore it is proved that unbounded orbits follow bounded orbits for long times. An application is given to the Fermi–Ulam ping-pong model with a non-periodic moving wall.
