Denjoy diffeomorphism

Denjoy diffeomorphism

In mathematics, a Denjoy diffeomorphism is a diffeomorphism of a circle that has an irrational rotation number, but is not topologically conjugate to an irrational rotation. It is a theorem of Arnaud Denjoy [ See [http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~jack/DYNOTES/dn15.ps this Postscript file] .] that a Denjoy diffeomorphism cannot be twice differentiable.
