This paper is a survey of the recent work related to the ordered \(K\)-theory of transformation groups \(C^*\)-algebras of minimal homeomorphisms \(C^*(Z,X,h)\), \(X\) being a compact metric space and \(h:X\to X\) a homeomorphisms. For a closed subset \(Y\subset X\) the \(C^*\)-subalgebra \(C^*(Z,X,h)_Y\) is defined to be: \[ C^*(Z,X,h)_Y= C^*(X(X), uC_0(X\setminus Y))\subset C^*(Z, X,h), \] where \(u\) is the standard unitary representing the generator of \(Z\). (In the case that \(X\) is a Cantor set and \(h\) is minimal the algebra \(C^*(Z, X,H)\) is an AF-algebra and was first used by \textit{I. F. Putnam} in [Pac. J. Math. 136, No. 2, 329-353 (1989; Zbl 0631.46068)].) In Section 1, the relations of these ``large subalgebras to \(C^*(Z,X,h)\) are described. In Section 2, the authors introduce and describe recursive subhomogeneous algebras, which are a generalization of direct sums of homogeneous \(C^*\)-algebras. An explicit proof that, under favorable conditions, \(C^*(Z,X,h)_Y\) is an algebra of the sort considered in Section 2 is given in the third section. In Section 4 of the paper, the authors discuss what can be proved about direct limits of such algebras and, in the last section, those results together with the results above are applied to obtain consequences for the transformation group \(C^*\)-algebras of minimal homeomorphisms. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0908.00020].
