Let (S, ≤) be a poset (partially ordered set), A(S) = Aut(S, ≤) its automorphism group and G ⊆ A(S) a subgroup. In the literature, various authors have studied sufficient conditions on G and the structure of (S, ≤) which imply that G is simple or perfect. Let us call (S, ≤) doubly homogeneous if each isomorphism between two 2-subsets of 5 extends to an isomorphism of (S, ≤). Higman [8] proved that if (S, ≤) is a doubly homogeneous chain then B(S), the group of all automorphisms of (S, ≤) with bounded support, is simple, and each element of B(S) is a commutator in B(S). Droste, Holland and Macpherson [5] showed that if (S, ≤) is a doubly homogeneous tree then its automorphism group again contains a unique simple normal subgroup in which each element is a commutator. Dlab [3] established similar results for various groups of locally linear automorphisms of the reals. Further results in this direction are contained in Glass [7]. It is the aim of this note to establish a common generalization and sharpening of the previously mentioned results.
