Is there a group isomorphism between finite (abelian) groups where one can prove that the inverse has no analytically closed form?

In the case of the discrete logarithm (with the application of elliptic curve cryptography that maps a finite cyclic group to the cyclic subgroup of the elliptic curve defined by the generator point) we know that the map is a group isomorphism. However so far no one was able to provide an easy to compute inverse map.

Though I am pessimistic that I get a positive reply I was wondering if examples are known where we can proof that it is impossible to analytically construct an easy to compute inverse map?
