abstract: Joint work with F. Chapoton and J.-C. Novelli
We introduce an operad of formal fractions, abstracted from the Mould operads and containing both the Dendriform and the Tridendriform operads. We consider the smallest set-operad contained in this operad and containing four specific elements of arity two, corresponding to the generators and the associative elements of the Dendriform and Tridendriform operads. We obtain a presentation of this operad (by binary generators and quadratic relations) and an explicit combinatorial description using a new kind of bi-colored trees. Similar results are also presented for related symmetric operads.
