In [1], J. Bruna studied the Beurling classes EM(I) of infinitely differentiable functions f defined on an interval I such that for every positive ε, there exists a constant Cε > 0 with the property that
where M = {Mn} is a given sequence of positive numbers. With the hypothesis that the class EM(ℝ) is differentiable, he proved that it is inverse-closed (in the sense that if fεEM(ℝ) and if f is bounded away from zero on ℝ, then its inverse f-1 lies in EM(ℝ)) if and only if the associated sequence A = {An = (Mn/n!)1/n} is almost increasing (i.e. Am ≤ KAn for all m ≤ n, where K > 0 is a constant independent of m and n).
