I started thinking on the following problem. I am interested in finding complex functions of a complex variable such that
$\phi(z)=\phi(z^{-1})$
So far, all I could come up with was a family of functions of
$z^{a}+z^{-a}$
where $a$ is a complex parameter. Is there a way to find other functions? In general, a way to say something more on this problem? Thanks! :-)
What about $$\phi(z) = \xi\left(\chi(z)+\chi(z^{-1})\right)$$
with any complex functions $\chi$ and $\xi$
?
