Let T be a mapping from a set X into itself and let H(X) be a functional Hilbert space on the set X. Then the composition operator CT on H(X) induced by T is a bounded linear transformation from H(X) into itself defined by CTf = fT. In this paper composition operators are characterized in the case when H(X) = H2+) in terms of the behaviour of the inducing functions in the vicinity of the point at infinity. An estimate for the lower bound of ∥CT∥ is given. Also the invertibility of CT is characterized in terms of the invertibility of T.
