Definition 20

We define compositions mk,k≥2m_{k},k\geq 2 by the formula

mk​([y0],…,[yk−1])=∑[T]∑yk∈C​r​(f0−fk)d​e​g​(ℳ⁡(T,f0,…,fk,y0,…,yk))⋅[yk]m_{k}([y_{0}],...,[y_{k-1}])=\sum_{[T]}\sum_{y_{k}\in Cr(f_{0}-f_{k})}deg({\cal M}(T;f_{0},...,f_{k};y_{0},...,y_{k}))\cdot[y_{k}]

where [T][T] is the equivalence class of TT as an abstract oriented planar tree, and d​e​g​(⋅)∈𝐙deg(\cdot)\in{\bf Z} is the total number of points counted with signs, as before.
