The algebraic structure of the set of first phases of all Jacobian two-sided oscillatory second-order linear differential equations \[ y''=q(t)y,\quad t\in \mathcal J, \tag{q} \] with \(\mathcal J=(-\infty,+\infty)\), \(q\in C_0(\mathcal J)\), was described by \textit{O. Boruvka} [Linear differential transformations of second order, The English Univ. Press, London (1971; Zbl 0222.34002)and (1967; Zbl 0153.11201)]. He showed especially that the set of the first phases of the differential equation \((q)\) is a group where the group operation is the composition of functions. The first phases of the differential equation \((q)\) are a special case of phase functions, which are the objects of this paper.
