Abstract
In this paper the monotonic twist theorem is extended to the quasiperiodic case and applied to establish regularity of motion in a system of a particle bouncing elastically between two quasiperiodically moving walls. It is shown that the velocity of the particle is uniformly bounded in time if the frequencies satisfy a Diophantine inequality. This answers a question recently asked in Levi and Zehnder (1995 SIAM J. Math. Anal. 26 1233-56).
