We apply KAM theory to the equation of the forced relativistic pendulum to prove that all the solutions have bounded momentum. Subsequently, we detect the existence of quasiperiodic solutions in a generalized sense. This is achieved using a modified version of the Aubry-Mather theory for compositions of twist maps.
Keywords: Poincaré map, Aubry-Mather theory., invarinat curves, Relativisitc pendulum, KAM theory.
