Abstract:  We derive an analytic characterization of the symmetric extension of a Herglotz-Nevanlinna function. Here, the main tools used are the so-called variable non-dependence property and the symmetry formula satisfied by Herglotz-Nevanlinna and Cauchy-type functions. We also provide an extension of the Stieltjes inversion formula for Cauchy-type and quasi-Cauchy-type functions.
Keywords:  Herglotz-Nevanlinna function; Cauchy-type function; symmetric extension; Stieltjes inversion formula
