contents We study topological conditions ensuring the presence of rotational chaos for non-wandering or area-preserving annular homeomorphisms. Compared to previous criteria, our main result provides a simpler alternative that avoids the need to locate periodic points, requiring only knowledge of the behavior of certain open sets. This feature is crucial for enabling concrete applications to Poincaré return maps arising in Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom. The resulting topological criterion admits straightforward numerical implementation: a computer can verify all the required conditions using a simple algorithm that relies solely on basic data from the map. We illustrate this approach with the so-called driven pendulum.
