In (1) the author suggested the following research problem. Does there exist a non-periodic entire function ƒ such that ƒƒ is periodic? My aim in this note is to give a partial answer to this question and, more generally, to give a partial solution to the following problem: if ƒ and g are entire functions and ƒ(g) is periodic, what can one say about g? These results also extend a previous result of mine; for details, see (2, Theorem 4). We begin with some simple lemmas.
