The elementary functions of a complex variable $z$ according to Liouville and Ritt are those functions built up from the rational functions of $z$ by exponentiation, taking logarithms, and algebraic operations. That means, the elementary functions are those functions built up by applying only $\exp$, $\ln$ and/or *unary or multiary* algebraic functions. J. F. Ritt proved in [Ritt 1925] that if a bijective elementary function $f$ has an elementary inverse, then $f=\psi_n\circ\ ...\ \circ \psi_1$, where each $\psi_i$ is either an algebraic function of one variable or else $\exp$ or $ln$. That means, there exists a representation of $f$ as elementary function that doesn't contain *multiary* algebraic functions. R. H. Risch proved Ritt's result in [Risch 1979], in a sharpened form, from his structure theorem of elementary functions given there. How can Ritt's theorem on elementary invertible bijective elementary functions be extended to further classes of functions? Ritt's theorem is important for inverting functions in closed form and for solving equations in closed form. The theorem means, an elementary function for which only function expressions which also contain *multiary* algebraic functions exist doesn't have an elementary inverse. Risch's proof shows when a composition $f^{-1}\circ f$ is algebraically dependent over the differential field of $f$. How can Risch's structure theorem on algebraic dependency of elementary functions and Ritt's theorem deduced from that be extended to further classes of functions? There are a number of further classes of functions representable by a differential field, e.g. subfields of the elementary functions, the Liouvillian functions, subfields of Liouvillian fields, and functions that are generated by (generalized) composition of algebraic functions together with some (e.g. unary univalued) special functions. There are already a few structure theorems on algebraic dependency in such differential fields. See e.g. [Epstein, Caviness 1979] and [Singer/Saunders/Caviness 1985]. But how can these be applied to prove theorems like Ritt's for inverses in this differential fields? My guess is that a bijective (generalized) composition $f$ of algebraic functions together with some differentiable *unary univalued* transcendental functions for which only function expressions which also contain *multiary univalued* algebraic functions exist doesn't have an inverse in the differential field generated by the functions that build the function expression of $f$. At least the defining equations of the inverse $f^{-1}$ of $f$ with $y=f^{-1}(z)$ $\ \ $ $f^{-1}(f(y))=z$ and $f(f^{-1}(y))=z$ cannot be solved for $y$ by only transforming the equations only by inverting the operations (functions) directly readable from this equations. That's because the inverse relation of a multiary univalued algebraic function is multivalued and therefore not a function and in particular not an allowed function. But it has to be proved if there are other functions $f^{-1}$ contained in the field generated by the functions that build the function expression of $f$. <a href="http://www.ams.org/journals/tran/1925-027-01/home.html">[Ritt 1925] Ritt, J.
