The paper is concerned with homotopy concepts in the category of chain complexes. It is part of the author’s program to translate [J. M. Boardman and R. M. Vogt, Homotopy invariant algebraic structures on topological spaces, Lect. Notes Math. 347, Springer-Verlag (1973; Zbl 0285.55012)] from topology to algebra.In topology the notion of operad extracts the essential algebraic information contained in the following example (endomorphism operad).The endomorphism operad of a based space consists of the family of spaces of based maps , together with the collection of continuous maps given by the formula where are such that .Operads have proved to be a convenient tool to investigate, for example!
