On the power series of involutory functions

Combinatorics 2023-12-12 v2

Abstract

It is shown that the coefficients of any involutory function ff represented as a power series can be expressed in terms of multivariable Lah polynomials. This result is based on the fact that any such f (identity)f~(\neq\text{identity}) can be regarded as a (compositional) conjugate of negative identity. Moreover, a constructive proof of this statement is given.
