If $G$ is a finite group, then a bijective function $f\colon G\to G$ is inverse ambiguous if and only if $f(x)^{-1} = f^{-1}(x)$ for all $x\in G$. We give a precise description when a finite group admits an inverse ambiguous function and when a finite group admits an inverse ambiguous automorphism.(original abstract)
