Abstract
For any semigroup \((S;\cdot)\) let \((S;\circ)\) be a semigroup defined on the same set. Semigroup \((S;\circ)\) is called an interassociate of \((S;\cdot)\) if the following identities hold \(x\cdot (y \circ z)=(x \cdot y) \circ z\) and \(x \circ (y \cdot z)=(x \circ y) \cdot z\). All interassociates of the free semigroup over the two-element alphabet are described.
Keywords
