Kendall distribution functions and associative copulas

In this paper, we prove that any Kendall distribution function is the Kendall distribution function of some associative copula. We use this result to show that each equivalence class of the relation ''to have the same Kendall distribution function as'' defined on the set of copulas contains a unique associative representative.
