Abstract: Let B be a M"obius band and f:BomathbbR be a Morse map taking a constant value on partialB, and mathcalS(f,partialB) be the group of diffeomorphisms h of B fixed on partialB and preserving f in the sense that fcirch=f. Under certain assumptions on f we compute the group pi0mathcalS(f,partialB) of isotopy classes of such diffeomorphisms. In fact, those computations hold for functions f:BomathbbR whose germs at critical points are smoothly equivalent to homogeneous polynomials mathbbR2omathbbR without multiple factors. Together with previous results of the second author this allows to compute similar groups for certain classes of smooth functions f:NomathbbR on non-orientable surfaces N.
