On normal subgroups of differentiable homeomorphisms

James Victor Whittaker

Vol. 49 (1973), No. 2, 595–613
Abstract

The algebraic side of the group of all homeomorphisms of an interval or a circle has been studied exhaustively. In this paper the objects of study are the homeomorphisms with local polynomial approximations at each point. The algebraic side of the group of all such homeomorphisms is examined, particularly the minimal normal subgroup and the commutator subgroup. The results are like those in the topological case.
