Abstract

We prove that an area-preserving twist map having an invariant curve, can be approximated by a twist map exhibiting a Birkhoff-Hénon attractor. This is done by showing that the invariant curve can be perturbed into a saddle-node cycle with criticalities and by using a recent result reported by Diaz, Rocha and Viana.
