Abstract

We carry the argument used in the proof of Denjoy's theorem over to the quasiperiodically forced case. Thus we derive that, if a system of quasiperiodically forced circle diffeomorphisms with bounded variation of the derivative has no invariant graphs with a certain kind of topological regularity, then the system is topologically transitive.
