Island
If an integrable Quasiperiodic system is slightly perturbed so that it becomesnonintegrable, only a finite number of 
-Cycles remain as a result of Mode Locking. One willbe elliptical and one will be hyperbolic.
Surrounding the Elliptic Fixed Point is a region of stableOrbits which circle it, as illustrated above in the Standard Map with 
. As the map isiteratively applied, the island is mapped to a similar structure surrounding the next point of the elliptic cycle. The mapthus has a chain of islands, with the Fixed Point alternating between Elliptic (at the center of the islands) and Hyperbolic (between islands). Because the unperturbed system goes through an Infinity of rational values, theperturbed system must have an Infinite number of island chains.
