Abstract: Motivated by the study of composition operators on model spaces launched by Mashreghi and Shabankha we consider the following problem: for a given inner function $phiotinmathsfAut(mathbbD)$, find a non-constant inner function $Psi$ satisfying the functional equation $Psicircphi=auPsi$, where $au$ is a unimodular constant. We prove that this problem has a solution if and only if $phi$ is of positive hyperbolic step. More precisely, if this condition holds, we show that there is an infinite Blaschke product $B$ satisfying the equation for $au=1$. If in addition, $phi$ is parabolic, we prove that the problem has a solution $Psi$ for $any$ unimodular $au$. Finally, we show that if $phi$ is of zero hyperbolic step, then no non-constant Bloch function $f$ and no unimodular constant $au$ satisfy $fcircphi=auf$.
