An involution is a function whose inverse is itself.
Examples
- The function
has the inverse 
, which is the same function, and thus 
is an involution. - The logical NOT is an involution because $\neg \neg p} \equiv p$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg).
- The additive negation is an involution because
. - The multiplicative inverse is an involution because
. In fact, for any 
, 
is an involution.
