ca.analysis and odes - fcircf=g revisited

This may be related to solving f(f(x))=g(x). Let
C(mathbbR) be the linear space of all continuous functions from
reals to reals, and let mathcalS := { ginC(mathbbR) ; exists finC(mathbbR) s.t. fcircf=g } . Is there some infinite dimensional (or, at least,
bidimensional) linear subspace of C(mathbbR) contained in mathcalS
?



P.S. As a remark, there is a [maybe] interesting connection between
How to solve f(f(x)) = cos(x) ? and Borsuk pairs of Banach spaces .
Namely, let E be the closed subspace of C[1,1] consisting of
all even functions, and let K be the closed unit ball of E.
Then the continuous mapping Psi: K rightarrow E expressed
by Psi(f) := fcircf + left(leftVertfrightVertinfty1right)cdotcos



is odd on partialK, and has no zeros in K.
