Review text

The orbit extension method is a technique for building long orbits from shorter ones. Combined with Newton's method, it gives a powerful and efficient tool for finding various orbits of area-preserving twist maps on a cylinder. It is particularly valuable for unstable orbits. We develop this method and use it to find ordered periodic orbits, homoclinic orbits, and heteroclinic orbits between two resonances. Flux from one resonance to another is obtained as a by-product of the heteroclinic orbits.
