Oct 3, 2014 at 4:32 comment added Nerses Aramian The simplicial set construction analogous to the one mentioned above is possible if one uses the framed Morse functions. The work of Eliashberg and Mishachev is directly applicable in this situation. I am trying to see whether there are other options of constructing a contractible space of "nice" functions into $\mathbb{R}$. My hope is that one of these options would generalize to $\mathbb{R}^n$.
Oct 3, 2014 at 3:58 comment added Ryan Budney There's quite a variety of work on topics like this. Have you looked at Cerf's work? There's also recent work of people like Igusa and Eliashberg arxiv.org/abs/1108.1000 . Does that suffice for your purposes?
