Abstract
A possible mechanism for the creation of strange nonchaotic attractors close to the boundary of mode-locked tongues in a family of maps of t he torus is described. This mechanism is based on the numerical observ ation that there are parameter values on the boundary of the mode-lock ed tongues at which the saddlenode bifurcation of invariant curves is not smooth, and assumptions about the nature of intermittency just out side the mode-locked tongues.
