An operation in some class of universal algebras that associates with a given set of algebras from this class the "weakest free" (in a certain sense) algebra of the same class that contains subalgebras isomorphic to the given algebras and generating them. At present the terminology is close to that of a free product.


Comments

This terminology is not used in Western literature.
