Bounding Solutions of a Forced Oscillator

Abstract: Our proof is based on a generalization of action-angle variables, a convergent Lie transformation, and Moser's invariant curve theorem. As an overall outline we give a quick proof of Morris' original theorem. Then the full theorem is established in two steps. In the first step we define a special case and then follow the proof given for Morris' Theorem to prove boundedness for the special case. In the second step we use the method of Lie transforms to reduce the general case to the special case.
