Summary: For finitely-generated groups of line and circle homeomorphisms a criterion for their being almost nilpotent is established in terms of free two-generator subsemigroups and the condition of maximality. Previously the author found a criterion for almost nilpotency stated in terms of free two-generator subsemigroups for finitely generated groups of line and circle homeomorphisms that are \(C^{(1)}\)-smooth and mutually transversal. In addition, for groups of diffeomorphisms, structure theorems were established and a number of characteristics of such groups were proved to be typical. It was also shown that, in the space of finitely generated groups of \(C^{(1)}\)-diffeomorphisms with a prescribed number of generators, the set of groups with mutually transversal elements contains a countable intersection of open dense subsets (is residual). A. Navas [Groups of circle diffeomorphisms. Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press (2011; Zbl 1236.37002)] has also obtained a criterion for the almost nilpotency of groups of \(C^{(1+\alpha)}\)-diffeomorphisms of an interval, where \(\alpha>0\), in terms of free subsemigroups on two generators.
