I worked out some cases last year, these are my results.
Consider any function g(x):R->R, then we consider a function f(z), which geometrically rotates the original plane in a way that cut the plane into infinitely many slices in the shape of ring, all locates its center at the origin, each ring-shaped slice has its own rotation angle, which can be written as:
\[f(z)=ze^{ig(\|z\|)}\]
Then, we can easily prove and get a continuous iteration(but only to real orders) of f(z) following these steps:
\[\text{For real t, }f^t(z)=ze^{itg(\|z\|)}\]
Remember abs(e^(it))=1 for real t,
\[\text{proof: For real s and t, }f^{s+t}(z)=ze^{i(s+t)g(\|z\|)}=ze^{itg(\|z\|)}e^{isg(\|z\|)}=\bigg(ze^{itg(\|z\|)}\bigg)e^{isg\big(\|ze^{itg(\|z\|)}\|\big)}=f^s(f^t(z))\]
it's easy to prove, and also satisfies the geometric intuition that the t-th iteration of a rotation is a rotation whose angular velocity is t times the original rotation's.
Another idea, came by trying to figure out whether there's continuous iteration of the conjugate function conj(z)
We start by conj(z)=abs(z)*e^(-i*arg(z)), consider a set of functions \[f_u(z)=\|z\|e^{iu\arg(z)}\] where u is real,
Then \[\text{For real t and u^t, }f_u^t(z)=\|z\|e^{iu^t\arg(z)}\]
Because \[\text{For real s and t, }f_u^{s+t}(z)=\|z\|e^{iu^{s+t}\arg(z)}=\|ze^{iu^tz}\|e^{iu^s\arg(\|z\|e^{iu^tz})}=f_u^s(f_u^t(z))\]
if u^t and u^s are both real.
But since u=-1, t=1/2, u^t is not real, we cannot find a functional square root of conj(z) through this.
Do you have more examples, I basically based all this on the Polar decomposition of complex numbers and don't have so much time to take more investigation into it.
i was thinking
f^[t + s](z) satisfies the semigroup addition homomo as does f^[t i + s i](z)
but I think f^[t + s i](z) does not.
( i^2 = -1 )
this relates to my recent posts/conjectures about semigroup addition homomo and analyticity.
