Extract

1. Introduction. Let P be a collection of functions mapping some set into the complex plane C and let δ be a subset of C. A function F: δ → C is said to operate on P provided the composition F o φ belongs to P whenever φ ∈ P and the range of φ is contained in δ. The basic problem is to characterize the functions which operate.
