Undid revision 1230071245 by D.Lazard (talk) Conjugation is what the bar over f(-x) means. Asterisk would also be fine with me.

===Complex-valued functions===
The definitions for even and odd symmetry for [[Complex number|complex-valued]] functions of a real argument are similar to the real case. butIn involve[[signal processing]], a similar symmetry is sometimes considered, which involves [[complex conjugation]].<ref name=Oppenheim>

'''EvenConjugate symmetry:'''
 
A complex-valued function of a real argument <math>f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{C}</math> is called ''conjugate symmetric'' if:
:<math>f(x)=\overline{f(-x)} \quad \text{for all } x \in \mathbb{R}</math>
 
A complex valued function is conjugate symmetric is and only if and only if its [[real part]] is an even function and its [[imaginary part]] is an odd function.
'''Odd symmetry:'''
 
A typical example of a conjugate symmetric function is the [[cis function]]
:<math>x \to e^{ix}=\cos x + i\sin x</math>
 
'''Conjugate antisymmetry:'''
 
A complex-valued function of a real argument <math>f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{C}</math> is called ''conjugate antisymmetric'' if:
:<math>f(x)=-\overline{f(-x)} \quad \text{for all } x \in \mathbb{R}</math>
 
A complex valued function is conjugate antisymmetric is and only if and only if its [[real part]] is an odd function and its [[imaginary part]] is an even function.
