===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. In [[signal processing]], a similar symmetry is sometimes considered, which involves [[complex conjugation]].<ref name=Oppenheim> {{Cite book |last1=Oppenheim |first1=Alan V. |author-link=Alan V.
