Abstract

We propose both a reformulation of some known results on the free dendriform algebra on one generator from a parenthesis setting instead of using permutations and some developments as well. Moreover, by introducing the concept of NCP-operad, we show how to use the free dendriform algebra on one generator to reformulate some results obtained by Speicher in free probability.
