Is it possible to define a bijection $f:\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{R}^{-}\rightarrow[0,1)$ such that $f$ is continuously differentiable on its entire domain?

    Please tell us what the strange ${\mathbb R}\setminus{\mathbb R}^-$ means: ${\mathbb R}_{>0}$ or ${\mathbb R}_{\geq0}$ or something else?2011-03-11

    It means the set of all nonnegative real numbers. (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_subtraction#Relative_complement)2011-03-11

Let us consider $f\,:\,\left[0;+\infty\right[\rightarrow\left[0;1\right[$ defined as: $$f = \frac{2}{\pi} \arctan$$

If your domain is the reals greater than or equal to zero, $1-\exp(-x)$ seems to fill the bill.

Yes. For example, $f(x)=1-\frac{1}{1+x}$.
