The author studies the following phenomenon: if two identical combs overlap with a small shift, this displays an interfering picture. The author presents an application of this phenomenon to create a hyperbolic invariant set in the phase space of an area preserving map, that is \(F:T^2\to T^2\) \[ F\begin{pmatrix} x\\ y\end{pmatrix}\to \begin{pmatrix} A\cos 2\pi x-y\\ x\end{pmatrix} \] with the constant \(A= {N\over 2}+{B\over N}\), where \(N\) is a large positive integer, \(B\) is a positive number. The construction and estimate of the author is asymptotic with respect to \(N\to\infty\), the number \(B\) plays the role of a parameter in order to obtain the desired properties of the dynamics of the iterates of the map.
