nLab dendriform algebra

Dendriform algebra is a generic term both for dendriform dialgebras and dendriform trialgebras.

Dendriform dialgebras are algebras over a Koszul quadratic operad which is Koszul dual to the associative dialgebra operad. They have two binary operations $\prec$, $\succ$ (commonly also denoted $\dashv$ and $\vdash$) satisfying 3 quadratic relations. The sum of the two binary operations is an associative operation.

Dendriform dialgebras were introduced by Loday in his study of K-theory,
