Associative and preassociative functions

arXiv:1309.7303 · doi:10.1007/s00233-014-9580-5

Abstract

We investigate the associativity property for functions of indefinite arities and introduce and discuss the more general property of preassociativity, a generalization of associativity which does not involve any composition of functions.
