I interpreted the question myself from another angle: a circle is a function where every f(x) is an equal linear distance to an arbitrary fixed point z. So, the "inverse" to this function could be a function where every f(x) must have a different linear distance to z. |

However, as someone said above, f() is the inverse of g() if g(f(x)) = x. When put into practice, this means that the inverse is the reflection of the original function over y = x.
However, there's one problem with looking at the problem this way: A circle is NOT a function. Therefore, it does not have an inverse as we are thinking of it. A circle can be described by two functions, and both of these inverses combine to form the same circle. So, the inverse of a circle is (sort of) itself.
