[en] An n-variable associative function is called reducible if it can be
written as a composition of a binary associative function. In this paper we
summarize the known results when the function is defined on a chain and nondecreasing.
The main result of this paper shows that associative idempotent
and nondecreasing functions are uniquely reducible.
